So after 12hours of backbreaking work i finally got the tanks switched and the reef into its new home...nothing new just a different tank, except an extra 50pds of dry rock. Sps dominant, sandless bottom. Same livestock.

Re: Reefer's 70g reef.

I didnt have a way to get it drilled or any space anywhere for a sump.. the botom panel says tempered glass do not drill. So i dont kmow if that meant the whole tank or just the bottom panel. And thanks everyone, it went as smoothly as possble.. only took 12 hrs of smoothness lol. But i like it alot more in there...having equipment in the tank doesnt bother me near as much now. I might get a drilled one down the road and switch out the stand..all in due time i suppose lol

Re: Reefer's 70g reef.

Its the 46 moved into the 70-75 w.e it is never took the time to measure lol. And no.. im still going bigger.. im hust impatient and wanted something "bigger" now lol. Im still skeptical about using the tank for long term reef use. Maybe a predator tank, with just fish. Dunno yet tho. Lol

Ok how do u \"properly\" measure the height again, start and finish? Lol i always forget, (Darn) this CRS.


Bottom to top, don't get to technical
No a 90g doesn't actually hold 90g of water but that's just what it's called lol

some do and some dont.. what kind of wrasse is it? you can always stash a small ziplock container with a couple inches of sand in the back for your wrasse.
