JJ's New Aquariums set up.
 
After 11 years we have moved into a bigger house and I now have a dedicated room for my aquariums. Unfortunately while moving the rest of our house and prepping the new 72 gal bow front in the new house I had lost just over half of my corals and 6 fish. The night prior everything was healthy, colorful full polyp extension. Then 14 hrs later I came back to the old house to find a tank full of death.

This time I will be setting it all up differently. The 220 gal will be a fowler however I may just add ricordia and some softies for a splash of color.

However the 33 gal cube will be zoa/paly/acan/small inverts and seahorse tank.

The 72 bow will be the sps tank with a couple wrasse, a tomini tang and a mandarin goby. The 30 tall will be the clown/anemone tank.

45 long will be a quarantine only tank...

Here is some pics of the 72 & 33 cube almost completed... and the temp set up of the 220

Thank you! That is my current favorite... but I have lots of work to do on the 220 gal rock work... rocks for it have just finished a vinegar bath... next is soaking them in boiling water with a pump for a day... then rock structure to begin after... I will post better pics of the 72 rockwork later. It is missing lots of corals, but with the help of local canreef members I think I shall get her back to looking beautiful again soon.

Damn... got home today to find crazy algae bloom/growth happened in last 24 hrs... looks like the tomini isn't pulling any weight... time to find a scopas and maybe a juvenile parrot

Don't go jumpin' on the 'add more fish' bandwagon yet

Let things happen ...

Sorry to hear about the fish loss. It's never easy. I still miss my peacock mantis and grey moray eel. :cry:

How's the two yellow tangs working out for you? I have a larger (5") yellow and a small (2.5") in separate tanks at the moment. Do you think they'll get along if added to a big tank together? Or disaster waiting to happen?
