Kelan's 24g

[dsmhero]

Well I guess it is time for a little upgrade. I received a 24g JBJ from Devon(Thanks!!!) and I figured it would be best to just move over everything from the 12g to this tank. Here is my progress:

The stand was warped from water damage.

I built a new top for it and painted it.

Installed.

Didn't have any other way to mix up 20g of saltwater....so I improvised lol

Leak Test

Rinsing the new sand

Just a bit larger

As of today...I just aquascaped that is why it is so cloudy

I have a MP10wES on its way as well as an AquaIllumination Sol Led fixture....I can't wait!

Yes I moved everything in one day. So far, so good.

 

[CarlaW]

Can I ask how long the new tank had been running?

 

[DevonM]

Yes I moved everything in one day. So far, so good.

I just found the manual if you would like to know how that thing works.

 

[CarlaW]

how dare you suggest that he reads the instructions......................................lol

Looking good... I was a little stressed when I upgraded my tank a couple months ago but everything turned out great... I am sure yours will do the same.... Are you still going to do the 40b???

 

[dsmhero]

I did not cycle this new tank...I just mixed new salt water and mixed it with the old water and transferred the live rock and livestock. According to many people I have talked to, this will not create another cycle, but I am doing some water tests as we speak. I will keep you updated.

Devon: What are instructions?

dawgwe1: Yes I will eventually get the 40B up and running, but I have a long road ahead of me for that tank.

So far the fish LOVE the new swimming area of the tank and the new flow. I will eventually move that rock out of the tank but I will wait a few months.
