144G Half Circle Mixed Reef

[Carmen]

Tested nitrates and they are at zero.
So I picked up a couple pieces of rock from the 72G to finish up aquascaping. Wasn't quite as easy to steal from the 72 as I thought since it's pretty jam packed with coral so moving stuff around is tough! Just grabbed 2 rocks that I wanted and may be one or 2 others that I can change around later once the transfer happens. Had to take a few corals back too since I just have no room to keep them in the 72G. Nothing that is too demanding just some big easy corals, taking up space. Corals actually acclimated really well.
So the aquascape for now consists of 2 formations. One with a small "tunnel" through for swimming/hiding or the shrimp cleaning station like in the 72G! I wanted to leave a clear area through the center so you got a feeling for the true depth of the tank. Ofcourse not 100% happy but am going with the basic structure anyway. Small rocks ontop will likely be exchanged for coral pieces.
Also started adding sand today. Will take me a couple days to add the sand since I just haven't had a whole lot of time. So gonna be looking at a cloudy tank for awhile...




Sump plans not exactly worked out just yet and skimmer on back order...
Thinking about setting up a temporary sump in the meantime.
