Okay, so many of you know that I had to move my tank down to Blue Sierra back in January due to a flood in my home. In order to fascilitate the move more easily I purchased a used 240g acrylic tank from Jonas to set-up in the store while they babysat my livestock and gear. Well, my house is done, we're moved back in, and now it's time to move everything back home.
My original plan was to set the 240 up at home as my main display, and I may still at some point. However, for now, since my wife is still out of work recovering from her second back surgery I have to cut expenses down where ever I can, including my hobby. So for the moment everything will be going back into my 120 where I'll use half the salt, half the lighting, and half of most everything else.
Before I get ahead of myself though, I want to say a HUGE thank you to Jonas and everyone at Blue Sierra for giving me a place to temporarily home my stuff. Without you guys I probably would have lost everything and I don't know of any other LFS that would have taken on that responsibilty.
As far as tank and equipment specs go, here's the run-down:
AGA 120 4x2x2 w/ dual megaflows
Megaflow sump model 4 with bio media removed and replaced with 3 layers of different denity filter material dual Mag9.5 returns
ETSS evolution 750 skimmer and Euroreef RS100 (very generously stocked tank for a 120)
3 phosban reactors carbon/phosban/purigen
Octopus Ca reactor
DIY Kalk reactor
30g grow out tank
10 cryptic fuge
2x400w reeflux 20k's over display with Lumatek Ballasts
1x250w Hamilton 14k over grow out tank
I have 480w of T-5 Actinic lighting but have decided not to use it for now.
Reeflo Hammerhead feeding an Over-the-top CL @ 5800 GPH
and a RKEv2 to automate as much as possible.
Here are a couple of pics of the tank w/ my rock in it already but no sand yet and some equipment pics. Will try and take some shots of the grow out tank and stuff this weekend, and keep you guys updated on progress. The pics will be sorta crummy since I haven't found the box with my camera in it yet and am using my iPhone for everything. Note that the CL and permanent lighting are not installed yet. I just have a 300w sunpod over the tank for the moment.
