I think ...
Wasn't really planning on this - at least not now - it just sort of ... happened.
I'd been sort of idly toying with the idea of re-homing Zoey's Reef (65gallon display) into a larger glass box. Maybe a 90, or even a 150. Then along comes my favorite reef shop, with a gently used, reef-ready 220 at a price I found it hard to say no to. (Turns out they're going to be closing their doors after the Holidays. Waahh!) So, now . . . here it is.
This is a big box of water, by my standards! At 72 x 24 x 30", it's well over twice the size of any aquarium I've ever owned. It's also going to be the first time I've ever owned a "Reef Ready" aquarium - or tried to plumb one! (I do have the old drain and return - they're out in the car at the moment - but that's about it. Tank, stand, drain and return, and eggcrate covers.)
So, I'll need to figure out what to do with all of this . . . beginning with cleaning it up! (I'm thinking vinegar, and plenty of it, to begin...)
Any thoughts, comments and advice would be welcome - I'd love to be able to do this right (or close to it!) the first time!!
