ok, took this tank down because i was tired of my DIY overflow clogging and the leaks and messes.
all livestock was moved to my frag tanks.
emptied all the sand and cleaned the beejeebus out of her. i have a brand new tank it seems!
noticed there was some moisture and salt creep within the walls so i cleaned it all up. used kilz and then two layers of red guard later, i have a waterproof membrane sealer.
next, i'm doing away with the marineland led reef ready units and installed the hanging kit and canopy for my nanoreefbox lights:
i cannot tell you how nice a laser level to plumb and level the mounting holes to match up the grabbers on the lighting fixture for the wire from the ceiling within the walls was.
i'll be drilling the tank this time and using a glass-holes.com overflow:
it's discrete and slim profile will be great.
the tank will be bare bottom or perhaps just a bit of black hawaiian sand from carib-sea.
i've decided to keep this one simple. it will be home to just a few anemones and a pair of clowns. rockscape will be sufficient for the anemones and that is all. most of the rock will be in the 30g sump in the basement.
i'll get you guys posted soon because my plan is to get this thing up and running sans livestock before the holidays.
