Thanks. Yeah it sucks but has to happen and I get to shut it back down and do things better once the room is finished so maybe this will be better

I'm going to make about 80 gallons of rodi and its dumping straight into the tank. Then I'm going to add salt to the tank and use the old water from my current tank

Well for how terribly wrong this build went im happy with how things have dealt with it. I've lost some sps and almost all my lps, but what's alive is looking good. Only lost 1 cleaner shrimp as far as livestock goes.

Well got the replacement tank (old 125) in place and ready to roll. Started filling it and found out the right overflow box isn't attached to the bottom glass. The silicone was ripped all the way around. So after draining the water I did a fast repair on it and tried filling it and it was a very small leak. Drained it again and dried it out overnight with a fan and siliconed it once again. Now I'm going to follow manufacturer advice and wait 48 hours before trying to fill again

More progress on the "fish room"
4b780aa4dac6884d95ce7d195fb75923.jpg

ATO is in place now. Removed a shelf to fit my cal rx. Only thing I need is a longer hose to connect my feed pump to the reactor. Everything is hooked up to apex so once I get the hose I can turn it on and tune it.

As for the rest of the fish room well thats a mess. Everything needs to be cleaned out id also like to put a remote fuge on one of the shelves. Once the rooms cleaned out ill have to see if my breaker box has spots for 2 more 20a breakers.

Just letting the tank run its course for awhile. I'll buy a clean up crew as needed. I think there's a few crabs in there from the last system and there was a few baby snails that made it. Only big snail in this tank is a huge zebra.
Fish room is basically cleaned up and semi organized. Next up is cord management. Need to get an exhaust for the fish room along with a fan. It gets toasty in there

Went to a lfs yesterday and brought home 1 of my 3 favorite fish. It was a nice length and super fat. Brought it home and there was some slight aggression for the rest of the day. Today there was some aggression, but not very much. This fish is as big as the biggest fish already in my tank yet my tangs and rabbit still try to fight with it. Anyway enough typing and more pictures.

I've slowly started to move my attention back to the tank now that the colder months are moving closer. Trying to take care of the cyano/bacteria problem I'm currently having along with finishing up the smallest fish room ever. Sorry for the horrible pictures
Tried organizing my shelves alittle
