Seen in the first pic is the start, a 5 gallon i have had for about a year, and on the bottom is the new 29gal Aqueon tank that will be replacing the current setup.
09/24/2022
today was build day, started out rinsing sand & a more rocky substrate for the tiger pistol shrimp - didn’t get it clear but like to think I did something as the pebbles had a brown/orange runoff and the sand was extremely fine
had the tank cleaned out this morning - I can’t stand the smell of vinegar but man you can’t beat it for safe cleans
tank with base
had to them make THE trip to the lfs. I guess it would be beneficial to get an RODI/Salt mixing setup started now
tunze pump had gotten damaged during shipping
but it still works!
Then set up the AC70, Hydrofil ATO & Lights / controllers
move complete!
have to up the live rock, couldn’t make it to the lfs, and get a new lid that doesn’t block the light along with some minor things here and there, but super happy with the whole process and end result
Specs:
29gal (30x19x12”)
2 A80’s (controller)
1 Noo-Psyche K7 mini
1 AC70 (Matrix, filter floss)
MP-10WQD
Hydrofil ATO & Pump
Eshoppes Nano Skimmer (In Tank)
