We've been working on this project a while, but I thought I'd get on and start a new thread. This tank is an upgrade to my 39 gallon starter 'experiment' that's been running for a year.
The tank is 24x24x20h, Starfire on 3 sides and overflow, drained through the bottom. We ordered a 10 gallon sump, 10x14x14h.
We build the stand while we waited for the tank to be built. It's extra heavy duty and a little longer than the tank.
We fixed the sump up with a few baffles, a filter sock, in sump protein skimmer; SWC 120 Xtreme. I have a small corner I'd like to light up and make a refugium.
We moved all the residents and live rock from the old tank a couple weeks ago. So far most are looking good after the move. My Kole tang looked pretty rough for a few days, but he looks much better now. My nems are taking the longest to recover.
When we decided to upgrade, we upgraded the lights right away, from t5 to maxpect Razor LED. We saw a difference right away, the corals look so much more vibrant, and they seem to be happier. I love these lights! I wish I had bought them originally.
There are a few things I'd like to still get. I was planning on keeping this as a journal.
