Grizz's 8' shallow sea - Page 23

Well i found the air leak with a little help from Terry (marine apprentice) & Josh (bauder1986). It was a very small leak in the bulkhead nipple connected to the union on the feed side of the return pump. So now the tank is nice and clear, no more micro bubble's.

Here are a few pic's, have not finished the rock work yet but have tested all my water parameter's and everything is 100%. It really helped that 80% of the water in the new tank was from the old tank and the rock went from the old tank directly to the temp tank and then to the new tank.

Only one skimmer running at the moment as the feed pump that I was given with the tank make a lot of noise and need to get a new one. Also going to put in my PhosBan Reactor's tomorrow. Only one set of light's are on the tank, once I get every thing back into the tank I will move the other light, change a few bulb's and set the timer's.

All tank inhabitant's are now back in and seem to be loving it. Light's are great with the bulbs that I have but will be changing a few soon. Pic's to come real soon.

Thanks Lance and Reef_surfer. Hope to get a couple more fish for the tank soon, would like to get a Naso Tang, Powder Blue Tang and a Koran Angel.

be careful with the koran angel with lps/ clams made that mistake ate $75 worth of corals and thankfully the brain survived.
