Earlier this week my Aquapod decided it was time to start leaking. After going through my options I came to one that I was happy with.
Moving everything in the 24 to the 50.
This included selling my freshwater fish cleaning the tank rediculously well, filling the tank with water then as you all know mixing the salt.
I let the salt mix for about 12 hours if not more giving me a reading of 1.024 which I think is pretty darn good for eyeballing it. The pod was at 1.030 anyways so there shouldn't be much of a fallout. Moved the rocks first. Then syphoned the pod then scooped out all of my sand and transplanted it to the new 50 gallon reef.
Currently it is sitting under a 150W 12 or 14K halide. I will soon be replacing the bulb with either a 15k or 20k bulb. This will be my show tank not a frag tank (Please keep reminging me lol).
The only fish in the pod was a flame clown I have been looking for months to get another one so they could hang out to no avail. None of the stores are willing to order me one and I wont buy online.
In my 90 I was trying to introduce another juvi maroon to the tank. 15 minutes in and it was apparent by the shredded fins that it wasnt going to work out. So I plopped it in the 50.
Both clowns appear to be happy together and are actually swimming side by side.
Now since you have all been good boys and girls Ill reward you with some pictures lol.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
All of the corals that were int he pod are still doing great but wont be moving back in for a little while so I can see how well my light will take care of them.
Tank dimensions 36 7/8x19x19 5/8
In hind sight the koralia #4 may be a bit overwhelming for the two 1" fish lol. Ill be adding the filtration soon. For now my rocks are all the filtration im going to need.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned. I like to take pictures.
