Smitty's Reef

Alright guys, as you all know, my reef was wiped out a few weeks ago...and I was able to savage my equipment and rocks...so until I buy me another house and set up a larger tank, I decided to rebuild another reef for now...

 

Yay!!! This is going to be an epic comeback thread. I know it!

 

Here is a pic of 110lbs of dead bleached rock that I savaged from my old reef. It has been sitting in this tub for a few weeks now. I do daily water changes and added prime to the tub after each change. I scraped off all the dead coral and the protein skimmer has pulled lots of gunk out of the water...maybe tomorrow I'll remove the rocks and place it inside the tank.

 

Yea!!!! Glad to see you begin again Smitty. Bravo. :claphands:

 

Good to see that your getting your hands wet again Smittu! Welcome to the 29g tank club.

 

YEEHAAWW. You excited? hehe

 

Yes, I am really excited...I couldn't sleep at all last night, I kept thinking about how I was gonna do the aquascaping and what type of lighting I want. My mind was just racing all night. So now, I just finished rinsing the 20lbs of sand I bought yesterday. Let the fun begin!

 

Ok...I just finished aquascaping the tank. Let me know how it looks.

 

It looks good smitty

 

That's a nice looking wall. You'll have lots of choices for coral placement.

 

Another pic...

 

And another...

 

When are going to put some water in there?

 

Lol...as soon as the lfs open up at 11am, I'll be there getting some water and a piece of liverock to seed the rock I already have.

 

Awe yeaaah

 

looking good smitty glas to see you rebuilding so fast.

 

Now you know I had to get my hands wet again, I couldn't stay away too long...besides, being off work this long, I need something to do to keep me sane...lol

 

Looking good man! I'm looking forward to seeing the revival!

 

Cant wait to see it covered in coraline like your old one smitty!!!

 

Ok...I put pre-mixed water in the tank yesterday and I also bought 2 pieces of live rock to help seed mine...the water has cleared up very well. The skimmer has been foaming all night, and the temp is at 79*. So now we play the waiting game...wait for a complete cycle so I can start adding my cuc. While I'm waiting, gonna start looking around for a new light.
