So it's been a few months since my last update and I thought I would do one more before I have to break the tank down an move it back to columbus. Btw I have some questions about to to transport everything. We were considering bagging everything and floating it in a 55gal trashcan that we will heat for the ride back.
Also I have a yellow watchman and pistol shrimp and want to know the best way to get them out of the tank.

Thanks!

The tear down and reassemble is complete and everything is looking good. Hopefully here soon I can go back home and finnish placing the corals and doing some more aqua scaping. But here is what she looks like right now.

Everything looks great, nice job. The tear down and rebuild doesn't usually go that well.

Yea lol I got lucky. My flame angel almost didn't make it but we got him back and he's better than ever.

Looks really good. Congrats on a successful move!

Its been quite a while since I posted an update.  I just got coals glued down and am starting to hand dose everyday.  Looking forward to the growth!!  Also looking to add a floating fuge in my sump but not sure how to do that.  Any ideas??









Here is my current sump.  Let me know if you guys/gals have some ideas to add a fuge.

It's been a while since my last update. So a lot has happened lol. My fiancé and I just moved into our first home and with that I wanted to do a complete upgrade. I am very happy so far with everything. Now just need to start saving again for corals to fill the tank!!

Also, I am wanting to add pods to my tank. Not sure what to get or if anyone has any I could buy please let me know.

Please let me know if you see anything that could be improved or have any other ideas for the setup.

Having a calcium spike don't know if I should be worried or not.

Calcium - 534ppm
All - 10.622 dkh
Phosphate - 0.00ppm
Phosphorus - 0ppb
Nitrite - .007ppm
Ph - 8.0

Is there a way to lower it or should I just keep doing water changes?

tank looks good and its not that bad
a couple small water changes should bring  it back to normal... just dont want to drop it to fast and stress things out.
also if your still in need of pods ill have some available this weekend and live just up the road by austin landing

[KCNano23]

Ok I'll do weekly small water changes. And yes I am still interested I'll send you a pm

Really great nano cube!  I love the cleanliness of this.  Any updated pictures available?

7 month update.

Tank is doing ok. Had a rough patch a few weeks ago and lost my 1 sps and almost all my zoas. Everything else is doing fine. Last Friday I did a complete clean out of the sump and did a 10gal water change.

This morning I noticed my trumpet coral dying. Pictures are below.

Here are my levels:

It would appear, by your nitrite, that you may be having a mini cycle. Possibly from cleaning too much at once...

Your trumpet is awfully close to your RBTA, are you sure it's not getting stung?
