and the cycle begins... water and

Hopefully you haven't put that many shrimp in though

 

[Reefmack]

Wow - you are racing along LOL! Did you keep the original rockscape, or will you further adjust during the cycling?

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

I did keep it like I 1st put them in, the rocks, but as I buy & add 20% Live Rock, sure I will change it up.

Glenn,
Considering the RSM250 is 65 gallons, how much cocktail sauce do you have to add?:laughroll
Tom
PS -- Rockscape looks great!

[Edison]

Wow, great looking rocks, lots of nooks and crannies to put corals

 

[BigAl07]

Outstanding!

 

[reeferman]

looks great Glenn!i was at the lfs today and looked at their new 250 and it has a small[maybe 1/2" wide]piece of glass running the length of the front of the tank just under plastic rim on inside to keep water from splashing up.does yours have that?seems like a good idea.

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments ! Reggie mine does have the glass ledge - thanks for sharing, I would have never known they added this...

Added Live Rock (10 pounds of some nice stuff that was full of life, lfs just got it in today, so it's somewhat uncured) should have some nice die-off & help start up the new tank

another pic, once tank clears, I have it stirred up now.

 

[tnwillia]

Does it seem a lot bigger in person compared to your 130?

 

[Reefmack]

Glenn - is there a reason you didn't take any rock from the 130 to seed the 250? Maybe because it all has corals on it?

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

Tom it does seem bigger... when I started my 1st tank (the 130D) I wanted to fill it up with corals, I have some pretty ones, but going be a lot more selective this go around... and get some real pretty ones... and some new fish

Yes Terry... the main reason is... Xenia and some of the rock had come with some red turf algae, just going to leave this behind

 

[Reefmack]

Good reason Glenn!

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

 

[imaccat]

Looks great Glenn.

A piccie of the glass ledge would be good, I've not seen that before.

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

Iain here you go

 

[Reefmack]

Looks good Glenn! Iain beat me to the request to see the new glass ledge in front. I wonder if any other improvements have been made to the 250 since it came out (other than the Sicce pumps)? I guess you got a 250D!
