My new project-125 gal

Good luck

 

Dang. Hadn't realized I hadn't posted in so long. Made so leaps and bounds on the tank. Got the stand moved into the living room and got everything level. I had to level it twice. Once when I first moved it in then some minor tweaking once it had some water. Then I installed the baffles in the sump. Once I got my lights, overflow box(decided not to drill) and return pump on there way I went ahead and added sand, the some rock and water.

 

When I got the lights, overflow, and return pump I got the sump running to make sure there were no issues. I really like the lights and made an excel spread sheet for programming them. It made life so much easier. After running/cycling for 4 weeks and watching my parameters like a hawk, the wife decided she wanted everything moved over at about 10 pm one Saturday night. So we were up till 2 moving everything but the fish. They got to stay in a bucket with a heater and air stone till the next morning. I transferred most of the water and all the rock from my 55 gal. I used the sand for the refugium. I did one final check of the parameters and then the fish got moved over. I think it went rather smooth and I didn't loose anything in the move.

 

So far everything is doing really good. My wife's Sebea Anemone that was really bleached when we got it has gotten all its color back. It went from about 2 inches across to 6+. Our clowns have started living in and feeding it. I am having a little trouble with some hair algae but I think a lot of the problem was the water I was getting at the LFS. They only do RO. Didn't know that. Now I am getting RO/DI form another guy till I get my filters this fall.

 

Congrats on the upgrade
