Nu Nu and Gboy's 66 gallon Red Sea Max build

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Lol... We went there an bought him!! they only hold onto fish for like 4 days so we will be back by monday or so. Hopefully the 66 gallon tank is ready! He also said that if someone offers him more for the fish he will sell to that person and refund us i dont know if you are allowed to take pictures of their fish... But it looked GREAT, so i had to share with you guys!

He said if it isnt done by then, maybe he can hold it longer. I understand though, its a business. Gotta make room for more fish

 

[George9]

Hope it's done soon, and nothing like my experience with nitrites lol

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Ya man! You guys can see how big this guy is relative to the tank next to him! now that i see him swimming he is at least 8". We jst need to thicken him up...

 

[Gboy66]

Yes..yesyesyes!!! Nitrites are at 0!! Ok, wow awesome. I didnt expect that today!

Ok, now to test nitrates and see whats up.

 

[needmorecowbell]

Congrats!!

I guess you won't have to wait after all!

 

[Gboy66]

Haha ya! Woohoo! Maybe we can pick up snape on saturday?! Yes. I want to name him snape..like in harry potter lol. Name is fitting!

Nitrates look to be 10-20, and ammonia is a solid 0!!

Ok, now we need to redo the rock to make it perfectly stable, dig it into the sand alot more, and make up alot of PWC water!!

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Are we allowed to turn on the protein skimmer now?? Should we have it break in by itself?

Ya u should. Let it run till it starts making that green or brown liquid or protein on the top.

Sounds like your making great progress on the tank you 2. hope everytings doing well.

 

[needmorecowbell]

I wouldnt turn it on until you have a fish in there. Are you going to move the fish from the 30 first?

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

No we are going to add all o the live rock today (good idea???) and put the coral in the 30 on the sand bed and keep a rock in there for the pistol. Then we will add the goby this weekend after we do our water change... Then turn on the protein skimmer and let it work its magic. Good ideazz?

 

[needmorecowbell]

I don't think you should add all the rock at once, maybe half today half tomorrow.
