Thanks, Sarang and Ricky. Things at work just going way too busy for me and barely have time to work here and there on the new tank. Anyway, got water running with sand and a few rocks and refugium... still working on the lights and things... will keep you posted hopefully :)
 
Thang,
holy moly!!!! that is one steroid out two year tank of yours. gives everyone hope and something to look forward to on their tank. Great Job!!! And Yeah, can't wait fot eh 270 build thread. PM me if you need any help.
 
Thanks everyone for your nice words. My 150g above will be empty when it hit 2 years mile stone next month. :) I will miss it for sure since lots of works, lots of thoughts for it in the last two years... but it's a good memory though :):)
Here's some pics for the future reef, not much, just start from ground zero... I meant galon zero.

Damnnnnnnnnn! I had heard your tank was awesome....but WOW! Now I regret not coming down to see it when you invited me for a trade some time back. Anyway.....great tank. Can't wait to see the new one develop.

Can you post some of your husbandry since you have such a great looking tank? Things like water changes, water parameters, what you use for Ca/Al/Mg addition, nutrient export methods, feeding (foods and frequency). If you have the time of course.

Thanks!
 
what are the dimensions of the new tank? Where did you get it made?

Sarang is right. The tank is 96x27x24. Aquarium Concept in Canada made it but I ordered through BR. Cost some extra $$ but piece of mind and they took care of everything... big help to deliver to you house and help to put into the stand. Sarang and Ricky (Reef18ster) and Louise25 were there to help too. Thanks again friends :) Couldn't do it without you guys...

Thanks, Reedman for you comment. I thing you still want to see my current tank before it's broken down and transfer because I am not sure how thing's doing in the new system. Or how long it take to get to the point it was in the current tank :)
Anyway, for the husbandry, with my Lifereef Ca reactor, I try to keep Calcium at least 390-420. Alk 9-11 and never mesure Mg. Anyway I dose Iodine concerntrate 1 drop per day. Feed my fish (4 tanks, 8 anthias, 2 clouds and 2 wrasses) with 3 cube of brine shrimp a day, some pellets and sometime nori.. bio-marine liquid life a few times a week. I think that's quite a lot but I skim the tank agressively with an ETSS800/iwakiRLT70. Change water every 2 or 3 weeks 20%. That's very much it.. I don't have much time for the tank and for RF lately... even post some ready to go high end SPS frags :) Hope things at work will slow down a bit so I can put more time into the new tank. Thanks again eveyone. Thanks, Peter for your offer to help too. :)
 
Thang,
Your last tank was very impressive :)

Good luck!!
 
Here too Thang! Hollar at yo boy up here in Everett if you ever need any help. I always love putting my muscles to good use. :razz:
