Well i managed to get permission and planning to upgrade to a bit bigger tank.
Got a 2 month old red sea max 130 d.Had some problems with heat when i first started but i have sorted this issue now by adding and extra fan and turning one of the other around in the hood.Also have STC 1000 setup now with heater and extra fan hooked up.The tank is up and running since 16.04.2015 now had some fun with adding arognite but all has settled and then algae but i turned the lights off and all is good. Have 20 kg of LR and will add CUC tomorrow. Waiting on my tunze 9001 and will add Stevie t media rack that i got this week :) Tests were last week and NO3 is now below 5 ppm. Will give a full overview when i get a bit of time.

May move the tank this weekend into its final resting place. Waiting on rods to come to make final rock scape and cement together with new stuff i got in marine store. Lets pray i do it right the first time lol because it is powerful stuff i was told :) Should have skimmer around same time as the delivery of the light so will be good to go. Will start to transfer coral when i get NO3 stable.

Here is a rough lay out. Little more to add in but will document with pictures when fully setup :)
Untitled.png

So as you can see basic setup will be Stevie t media rack consisting of Chemipure , floss and purigen.
Tunze 9001. Beside this i will have 1 bag of live rock rubble and chaeto with led grow light overhead wired on a time. Considering underwater led.. I am considering having miracle mud bed here also in the back compartment. Beside that i have aquel 100 w heater which it shatter proof.The return will be stock for now.Tunze auto top will also be installed into the back compartment.
Inside the hood as you can see i will gut out power suppy for the T5S and the lights. I will remove heat shield and have 3 fans installed in the hood for air flow out wards with 2 and suckion on 1. The final fan with be hooked up to the stc 100 along with the heater incase the temperature will raise.I will also buy the reef link so i can controll all lighting wirelessly. Inside i will have Jebao rw 4 for extra circulation.

Ok so i did a rescape and finally set all rockwork together with rods and cement. Glass is dirty with a bit of Algae sorry .I am happy with the outcome. Lots of flow going through all areas of rocks just need to fill with corals now . Have started to add most of corals from the old tank in and will let them settle in and figure where to place all :) Toadstool is grumpty from move but i hope in a day or so he will settle back in and be happy with much more space :)

Thanks yes i will add fish eventually. I will start off with a pair of normal clowns to start but in time will switch out for snowflakes clowns . Then i want Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse , Gold Assessor Basslet or a Black Cap Basslet ,3 Yellowstriped Cardinalfish and purple fire fish. Not exactly sure just yet i want them to be nice and special. Building up Amipods and copepods in the tank now.
