My 210 upgrade
 

I have over stocked my 75 gallon, so a tank upgrade is needed. There just happened to be a another canreefer who just happened to upgrade from a 210 to a 300DD. Needless to say, the 210 up for grab. I must say, this can't be coming in at a better time. My power brown is starting to run into my SPS and making frags of them.

210, it needs clean up, but it's in overall good shape.


in the next few days, I will be working on plumbing, fill, test run, vinegar bath, etc etc.

Hopefully I will be able to start transferring my livestock in a week time.

Isn't that Bblinks' old 210? You got a great deal on it!
Can't wait to see water in there!

looks like it and smells like it.

Wow, this is what I get for hooking you up with the deal of the century, you call me smellie?! Fiy I do shower once in a while.

P.s. it's your tank now!:mrgreen:

I didn't said that you stink.

shower or just jump into the 300DD for a bath?

Any updates? It's been 9 days already.....Get on it!!!
Haha!

He's on it, that's why there aren't any updates.😝

Can't wait till its all done. It's gonna be sweet!

not an update of new tank but it's an update of the old 75RR.

It took about 4 hour to dismantle everything.

I will have an update pic of the 210 in the next day of so. Have been busy doing tank transfer in the last few days.

Well we are waiting !!!!!!!!!!!!!:BIG:

Looks good Peter, nice open scape!

Psst, nice aquascaping but terrible pictures:wink:

Looks GOOD! I like the 3 islands theme and the overhang on the left island.

Really digging the rock work. Lots of place for the achilles to hide from the powder.:mrgreen: Looks good Peter.

BTW here are some pictures of us moving the tank.

I can still smell the death in that tank, grose!!!

crap... I can still smell that inside the house

Love your new rockwork, lots of space for your brown tang now. I was feeling pity a bit for your tangs when I was there, but now I can tell your tangs are so happy with a lot of space to swim.

more updates.. with FTS and close up pic each island.

Beautiful. I soooo miss my 210g.:sad:

can't afford buying good camera.

thanks

Looks good... except the sand :mrgreen: Crap that white Face has grown!

Nicely done, tank is looking awesome. keep it up.:biggrin:

can't do a reef tank with BB.. BB looks like store tank!!:lol::lol:

Yes, the white face is big and fat. It was so confused when I put it in the 210. It was totally confused, considering it came from a 180, then live in 75 for 1.5 year and into a 210.

new skimmer

Tank's lookin' great. I too like the rockwork.
Is that a new model of Skimz?

Really liking the tower you made on the left.

no, it's not a new model, but, it's just a really big skimz. model SM251.

thank you

Very nice scaping. I look forward to seeing it grow out. :lol:

WOW Peter that skimmer is huge, I hope it will fit in the sump....:twised: This big b$%#@ will definitely be able to handle an extra naso tang, and maybe a black tang too.:mrgreen:

I am looking forward to empty out that gigantic skimmer cup!!

Is it in yet?

Yah did you manage to get the skimmer in under the stand??

skimmer is in... it wasn't easy...

Oh it's in but can you get it out is the question.:twised:

it just the reverse the steps.. easy as one two three

anything new???

look!!! I think the 210 is too small, yellow tangs has to line up for cleaning service.

I think you need a 300DD. I know of one, he won't be able to tell the difference if we just swap tanks on him. He's not very bright. Shhhh.....😉

Mother... Ken I'll remember this. Don't call me anymore, I'll call you!😲

if we put a BC29 at where and 300DD is on friday night, he probably won't even notice till sunday afternoon.

LOL
