Chase31's 50 starfire aquascape reef
 

So here it goes had some issues with my other tank and havent updated the journal at all. All my corals had died and my two clowns yellow tail Damsel survived and I got the tank back on track. Recently I purchased a new fish, cant quite remeber the name. So I made the drive to calgary and purchased a 50G starfire glass tank with a custom aquascape (work done by Lovereefing). This tank has 100lbs of eco reefer rock, and will have all the live rock out of my 32G.

3 chamber around 20G sump (if my math was correct)

My skimmer is in the sump (bubble magnus nac3+) currently its off as i added reef boster prodibio have all 3 and added after the live rock.

I took over half the live rock out of my 32 and put it in the sump of this tank, will this start a cycle? should i finish the rock transfer and move my fish right away? Thanks in advance.

And since I know you all love them here are the pics (taken with my motarola tablet so may not be the best)

How about returning the skimmer you borrowed over a year ago.

Looks good, I'd change out a few of your plimbing fittings for non corrosive ones!!

Well bad news already.... I transfered all my rock and fish lastnight and woke up to 4 dead fish 2 dead snails and all my hermits cruzing around fine..... What could this be I tested my levels 5 mins ago as follows
S.G. 0.025
Ammonia 0.0-0.1
Nitrite 0.0-0.1
Nitrate 0-5
All closer to the 0 range using new nutrafin test kits
All this rock should be cycled properly as it was maintaining 4 fish in my other tank and was only out of water for less then 10 seconds.
Could it have been my acclimation process? Dripped for 35 mins at a couple of drops a second.
Thanks in advance

Lol..:lol: I see that as a small problem

Ya, nothing like selling something you borrowed.
That shows some character.

He'll give you profits plus interest on the skimmer :)

Some people kids hey ?? Codfather is an awesome guy,sent me a part for my calcium reactor.Wouldn't except payment for the part,or shipping.... i hold you forever in my debt :)

He sold your skimmer? Geez...

Did you have a big temp spike or drop (heat failure) and did the tank have water in it before you bought it , because if that fancy new rock wall leached something that would explain the wipeout . Sorry your fish died , that always sucks .
Ps did you actualy sell something you borrowed , could explain the bad karma in the tank though.
