92 Corner Move Thread

[TCoach]

Lots of rock/coral buckets.

All Rock in the tank. “Field of Rubble” aquascaping. I’ll redo it once lights are up and fish are in.

Still filling tank. Probably a 90% water change!

 

[TCoach]

Everyone is in the tank. Corals are already opening up. Fish are out and exploring. No ammonia issues (as expected)!

 

[TCoach]

Btw, here is a raw video of me rinsing some of the sand yesterday.

 

[TCoach]

Finished FTS.

T that's great really it is very well documented and agreed they're open fast! Linked to our sand rinse thread for prime examples of rinse prep thank you much for the updates

 

[TCoach]

Everyone seems happy today. Corals are out, and fish are out and eating. Water has stayed crystal clear.

Ammonia has stayed essentially non-existent.

I linked to our sand rinse thread so happy to see this strong outcome, those fish are fat and healthy

Yes, the prior owner took good care of them and had a relatively hard time saying goodbye. Honored to continue his stewardship.

The Desjardini looks great in tank. Just performed my own rip down, transfer on a120 a few months back. It ain't fun that's for sure.

Added 6 Mexican hermits and 6 Margarita Snails to join LSB Urchin. Also added Coral Banded Shrimp.

Looking for some Peppermint shrimp to try and help with Aptasia control and possibly a cleaner shrimp too.

Also got some fresh oysters and shrimp from grocery store and fed one oyster and shrimp at lights on. Crew went wild for it!

Paul says that really helps his fish become immune, makes me want to try grinding up some for my pico

Exactly why I did it. Really want to wean off of flakes and on to high quality fresh food. It makes total since that the processed food does not serve our animals best just like it does not serve us best!

Had a scare with the tank, but seems to probably be a false reading. Everyone is happy and healthy!

Ammonia keeps climbing?

then you just added an api testing dimension to these readouts, where you read/photo the test matters. that means in all fairness at least 90% of all posters using api would feel better running the test in a different room, my gosh, only seneye saved us from total madness here he he Thanks for...

Thought I’d post an update. Tank is running smoothly. Unfortunately, the Coral Beautly died unexpectedly. No symptoms, so guessing old age.

I’ve added a few fish to the tank, and really enjoying it. Also, I’ve order 2 PopBloom RS90’s to replace the lighting and take better care of the corals.

Enjoy the pictures.

Thanks!

Actually, the Frogspawn is an original. But it is under a Nemo Light Nano and loving it. Can't wait to see how it does under some high quality lighting.

Changes:
Replaced lighting with 2 PopBloom RS90’s. Just finished acclimation run. Limiting lights to 75% Max.

Cleaned out sump on Sunday and did a 10-15 gallon water change as part of it. Skimmer, heater, temp probe all soaked in citric acid bath to clean. Moved refuge to first compartment and skimmer to second.

Nitrates and Phosphate are high so also added bio pellet rector prior owner used about 1 week ago. Pulls from return compartment and dumps in skimmer section so it does not compete with Chaeto.

Monday I changed skimmer to pull from outside. Have a ~20 ft run to window. Skimmer line to 3/8 line to 1/2 line. pH much more stable now and running 8.1-8.3 so far!

Here are some pics. (Hairy rock moved up from sump).

Great job on the move and love the tank!

What model sump do you have? I have a 92 corner tank that I will be setting up soon and the area under the stand is limited.

Been a while since I’ve updated. Here is a video tonight ending with me feeding my guys.
