I know I have been saying I'm moving forever and you all probably thought I was lying. I was beginning to wonder myself. I'm finally moved! I thought I would share a few pictures of my new tank. Its a 125g that I got from SJM (thanks buddy!) I hope to set the overflow tank back up soon also! Amazingly I lost nothing in the transfer, so far. I had my water tested today at AT and pick up the gorgonia in the first picture, they had a few more at very reasonable prices. I will have plenty of frags for the next frag meeting. Please excuse the frag trays all over as I have not had a chance to aquascape yet.

WoW Ryan......so much room. I gotta get over to see the tank and new home. Maybe after Zips.

I like 6" tanks. That will grow in nicely. Foam back?

What happened to that twin level tank you had and the monster skimmer?

Good idea with the light set up never thought about doing it that way before! Glad everything worked out well!

very nice ryan

Congrats on the successful move!! The gorgonian is awesome, I hope it does well for you. After 15 months, my yellow one is struggling.

The "twin level" is what I call the overflow or waterfall tank. Hopefully it will be set up in a month or two. The skimmer is awaiting my big inwall tank build that will probably start in 6 months and take a year to finish. The foam background is from Azoo and its in sheets that glue on with hot glue, I think. As always, thanks for the kind words!

That looks awesome Ryan, glad it went well.

Yep, same foam background.

how long is that tank? 72" or 60"

how high above the tank is the bottom of your light hood?

double 250w or 400w?

evolust · #14 01/07/2008, 12:04 PM

Its 72" long. The lumenarcs are about 10" off the water. Dual 400W

That gorgonia looks a lot better in your tank than it did at AT, for sure.

Congrats on finally getting moved. Must have been pretty careful (or very well planned) moving everything to have not lost anything.

well done Evo! - nice choice with the 400's - Had a single on a 60" 116 gal tank 10" above and it was agreeable and the RBTA really liked it. Interested to find out how things go after a while with double the amount. I also had a purple gorgonian (taller but less branches) that did well in that tank and yours looks to be adapting happily. Looks like you're off to a GREAT 2008!!!
