Kio 4.0 (the repair)

[Kio707]

So, if you keep up with my other thread, you know I bought a new reef ready 180g. Well, while moving it my buddy dropped it. I got an idea to put another piece of glass over the cracked bottom. (Thank you Gregcoyote). But here are the pictures... Crack is in bottom left away from the overflows.

This is no longer a repair... I will have this new 180g up and running next week. I will post pictures soon.

Doing water test now, everything seems to be ok. On Wednesday I'll be ordering some rock from reefcleaners and Thursday the pump and plumbing will be done. Plan on seeding the tank with rock from the reef tank. I'll disperse the reef rock when it comes in. Plan on the puffer, Koran, Pakistan, and the two true clowns to go in for now. Other additions will be raccoon, snowflake eel, tusk, and dwarf lion. Anyone see any issues with that list? Or suggestions?

Well, kio 4.0 is off... Not the 180g I wanted, but a nice 150g. It's my old tank... Lol. My buddy got outta the hobby, so I picked it up. Adding water later.

Quick update. I have a lion fish in the tank now. Also put the puffer, Koran angel, and salfin in there too.

I will be following Kio. So now you have a 180g and this 150g, correct?

 

[Kio707]

Yes sir...

 

[SeanMonster]

Yes sir...

That's looking awesome Kio. Glad it's coming together for you. Btw, how's it going with getting out of the deployment?

 

[redsea]

I like this tank too! Do you have them in the same room? If you did, it would be like you were in the ocean.

 

[Kio707]

Not deploying at all. I woulda left in December if I was going. And yes they are. I'll take a pic of them both.
