Kio 3.0

[SeanMonster]

Kio, my 180g has 2 corner overflows that return to a sump (I think it's 40g). Each overflow returns to its own chamber. In the 3rd I have a Coralife 220 Super Skimmer, 2-300 watt heaters, Purigen bag, carbon bag, and a 1200 gph pump that provides return flow. My tank is a FO, but you've seen the pic showing how clear the water is.

So the guy was advertising a 250 and it was only a 165??

Either way congrats on the new set-up..Have fun stocking

Yeah... I've had ppl say 125g and it's a 90g... They just go off what their buddies say, idk...

In this new tank what is the main fish that you want? More tangs?

 

[Hondatek]

nice job upgrading. as far as setup my 180 just has a hangon overflow and a 950gph return. are you going to try a turf scrubber for this build?

Not stocking anything else. Just transferring... I'm going reef, so that'll be the focus. My LEDs will be here Wednesday, can't wait.

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Nice!! So what is the stock list for the tank you currently have?

 

[Kio707]

Betta, blonde naso, purple tang, watchmen goby, mag fox, emp angel

 

[Kio707]

The 180g I'm buying is reef ready, but will require new kits. Would it be easier to plug those bulk heads and use my existing equipment? Everything I have is rated for a 220g.

New tank pics... Won't be up till the 1st...

 

[Kio707]

Yeah. After the 1st... Gotta get the other piping, new pump (1800 gph) and new sump. The new sump will be able to handle all that and then some. Also, how much sand should I get? 2 40lb bags?

 

[FTMMWS]

Sweet...Congrats ..Are you going to leave it painted blue?

I think 100 pounds of sand would be just right..

 

[Hondatek]

Wow only 100 lbs . I used over 300 lol. Guess I used too much
