Lee’s 180 gallon Planet Acro Tank

[leepink23]

Rock work is coming together.

 

[leepink23]

All equipment is ready to go! Will finish bonding the rocks next week. Then nothing to do until we get back from vacation. I am hopeful to add water around March 12th. Nervous to add before our 10 day anniversary trip March 1-10.

Slowly getting the rock work completed. Did some bonding tonight. Hopefully will have right side and all bonding completed by the end of next week.

One of my frag tanks. Corals are looking good! I will be using my own acros to stock the 180.

Thank you!!! A lot of time and thought went into it.

Water is going in!!

 

[leepink23]

Almost there. Filled the sump and checked return pump, no leaks there.

And we’re off. Dialed in drain. Gyres running. Cut lights on for just a minute. I will leave them off while cycling the tank

Just a quick lights on for a picture. Started cycling with Dr Tims ammonia, biospira and microbacter 7.

I also have my sump loaded with marine pure spheres and will eventually add some spheres from Top Shelf Aquatic that’s seeded from their tanks.

Tank has cycled Ammonia to 0. Will dose again once nitrites hit 0. Added a few pictures of corals in my frag tank.

Added some wild reef biomedia from TSA, been in their tanks > 6 months. Tank cycle almost finished. Will be adding fish in 1 week!!

Yup it's super exciting to let a fish into the display for the first time.

Was pretty funny when we dumped the first 2 or 3 fish into the display... it was kind of a let down since they were so small and the tank so large lol
