33g nano journal

[kwirky]

I put in an order for a new tank. It'll be 24Wx24Lx18H (44 gallons). It'll be drilled for a 1.5" overflow pipe and dual 3/4" return pipes. I'll be running the return through a SQWID for wavemaking action. I'll run my remora skimmer in the sump along with all the other unsightlies. I'll keep my aqualight pro 150W light and possibly mod the PC's into T5's later on.

It's going to be an upgrade from the current 33g tank. I'll have more water volume because of the sump and it'll be lit properly by the MH light. Hopefully it'll be ready for when I move into my fiance's but I doubt it because Gary's quite backed up.

I'm going to see about storing the few corals I currently have at Gold's while the new tank is cycling. I'm going to get all new rock and cycle the zeovit as if it's a new tank.

I've got nasty algae problems in the current tank because I put in dead rock without soaking it in RO water before hand. I think I've introduced too much phosphate for the zeovit system to handle adequately.

Oh well, live & learn *sigh*
