So, Felicia is another reefer-in-training and she's been wanting either jellyfish, an octopus tank or seahorses. Guess which one I decided to set up for her as her Christmas present (hint - look at my screen-name

)

An ex-reefer friend pmed me on Tuesday about a RSM he wanted to sell. Went over there 3:00pm Wednesday out in Kits area. Tank was dirty and had been sitting dry, but uncleaned since being drained several months ago. Brought it home and scrubbed it down and hosed it off. Washed a half bucket of sand outside as well.

Here's what the empty tank looked like when I got it home.

Had a 50g barrel of sw mixed and ready for a water change so placed the washed tank on stand. Added sand and placed bowl on sand before pumping in roughly half newly mixed water (3 days mixing) and half water from my 165g reef.

Added fully cured live rock (been sitting in my sump for months) and continued filling up tank.

Plugged in all the equipment and made sure tank was running properly.

Added some macro algae and a few frags. Went out to J&L to pick up a couple of "ponies" for Felicia that Jeff had saved for me (thanks Jeff & John at J&L).

Full tank with stand shots:

And here they are:

Two yellow females but I can't remember what species they were listed at although the same "looking" seahorses at King Ed's were listed as captive bred Kudas.

Thanks for looking.
