New 30g Setup

[Zach]

My thanks to Craig Shipley for the great deal on my new 30g setup.

Just got things up and running and corals are already opening up and looking happy. Obviously a well looked after tank.

Will be a good "growing out " tank to get corals ready for my 135 build soon to come

Addicts rarely stay away. This is definitely worse than crack

Well...that tank didn't last long. Had it for 5 days before it sprung one hell of a leak.

After putting everything in buckets and rushing to my lfs a last minute 55 was purchased.

Luckily I had live rock curing getting ready for my 135 build but...I did loose some livestock

So far the casualties include 2 firefish that jumped out of the pails, 1 frag that got lost in all the movement, 1 sps frag that appears to be bleaching, and 1 rock shrimp who is MIA.

Blessing and a curse because at least now I have more room to play. I'm slowly filling the tank to try to reduce the shock on the system and will be posting updates once complete

Sorry to hear about the losses... but you will pop back better then ever

Well. It's taken a little bit but I finally have the 55g rescue tank looking more like an intentional tank. I did loose a lot of livestock but most of my favourite pieces made it.

New lights are on the way so hopefully they encourage the corals to open up more. I'm still not getting very good extention from much of anything.

Sorry to hear about the causualties... but the 55 looks like it's coming along nicely!

My winning streak continues.

Setting up a 125 and now the corner over flows are leaking.

Thoughts? Should I try and get the tank re-sealed? Good indicator of the age of the caulking? Bought the tank used so I'm a little worried now.

Anyone know a way to fix it without draining it?

The 125 is finally up and running. Still need to build doors and fix the center bracing. Plus the plumbing is gurgling way too much. Buyt it's just nice to have things clean and running again..

It may take up a little too much room in the living room thougb
