Hey guys, it's been awhile since I've been around here... work has been crazy, and my mother has been having some health issues. So, I'm moving home in August to help her out some... She's just having post-op cataract issues, nothing serious (like heart/cancer serious or anything) but she's very restricted physically in what she can do (like no bending over) and lift, so I get to go be the parent for a while until she's totally healed! Wooo! I can't wait to boss her around. Heh.
:wit: KIDDING! (about the bossing)
Of course, I can't take the 90 with me. She said no to that much water (my total system is around 150g with frag setup). So i'm going with a 40 Breeder, with my trusty 20H acrylic as a frag setup, plumbed to the same sump.
I'm sadly, selling both my tangs, as the yellow and kole have grown quite a bit, and they're the only two fish I haven't sold in my tank. No one was getting along, and I had a bunch of jumpers. I'm also dropping all SPS except for a few frags to propagate, the main display will be softies, a couple gorgs and some LPS.
Anyway. The setup...
40g breeder drilled (x2 1.5") with custom acrylic overflows in the corners
-Return is an eheim 1262, 900 GPH.
-Custom 2x4 stand
-30 Long sump with 10g ATO reservoir
-Deltec AP500 Skimmer (on 60 gallons of display... i know, right?)
-WavySea return
-AquaController Jr.
-200W Heater in sump
-Aquactinics 36" 5x39w T5 fixture
-CPR AquaFuge, if I can get it to fit. I think I should be able to on the sump.
20H frag setup, custom acrylic, external overflow
-Custom 2x4 stand
-Not much else... haven't decided on the return pump, and I may put a SCWD or something of that ilk on the two returns. (I may see if the eheim can handle all of it by itself. Not too sure of that. it might be able to do it.)
-24" PC fixture (until i get the cash for a 24" aquatinics t5 fixture, which should only be a few weeks).
There will be no equipment in the tank at all, other than the wavy sea, and some locline in the frag system. I'm going for simplicity here, and I think the AC Jr, with some reconfig, should be able to handle everything.
I'm going to run BB in the frag system, and sand in the main display.
Livestock that will be coming over
Assorted zoanthids
Micromussa
Acan Lords
2-3 SPS frags (for propagation)
Frogspawn
Open brain (not doing so well ATM, hope it makes a recovery)
Fungia
Leathers (Sarcophyton, Sinularia, and Pulsing Sinularia)
Amazing GSP
Any of my photo gorgs that survive the trip
Assorted Ricordia
Cleaner shrimp, blue linkia sea star (again, if it survives the trip), and cleanup crew, with NO CRABS
I may go totally fishless, I'm not sure yet. Not may options for a 40g... maybe a pair of GSM clowns or something that's a low jump risk, I've lost too many fish to that already. Makes me sad.
I should have some pics this weekend. Tomorrow I'm going to set up the 20
