120 in the Wall

[Wildechild_01]

Well, got my survivors into the new tank. Small ammonia spike as expected last night but as of this AM things are back where they should be. Building a scape with existing rock some of it with life attached was a little trickier but I think it came out pretty good. Here are a few pictures before and after.

This is how the tank looked while the rock I didn't save cycled.



Where the other rock and fish were living



How rock work looked when I decided it was done.



How tank looks this morning.

Man oh man am I terrible at posting updates. All of the inhabitants are doing great in the tank. I have added a few cleaner and fire shrimp to the tank along with a Powder Brown Tang and some Anthias to round out the look. Some new LPS have also made their way into the tank notable mentions being a 3 headed Duncan coral, a wall type Gold Hammer Coral, a beautiful gold torch coral with purple tips and a standard green torch as well. So far all of the tank inhabitants are doing well but we are just keeping up with basic tank maintenance what with the holiday season following so close on the tails of the tank fiasco. In the coming months I hope to start prepping the tank for SPS introduction with some more testing and dosing routines. As painful as losing the other tank the way we did was, the excitement of getting to set up a new reef is certainly enjoyable.
