Fish have always been an issue with me. Seems like everytime I do a tank transfer, they always give me some kind of issue. I don't think I ever got rid of ick in the water since day one of my reefing. I keep using half of the water from the old tank in the new tank so the darn thing probably still in the water til this day. But then again, I read somewhere that you will never be able to rid of ick in the water. It's always present in the water.
I just seem to have a huge outbreak during tank transfer.

Have you ever tried the Ruby Reef products? They have a kick ick, that worked great for me. I had used it to treat a coral beauty that was absolutely covered. You use it in stages and it can be dosed right into DT. Within a week spots were almost gone, then in another week completely gone, and no other fish were affected. Worked like a charm for me. I found them by watching their videos a reef show. Great company.

Very nice sps colonies. Do you have a thread that shows your maintenance work on that, what you're dosing, what you're feeding, etc.? Just curious!

Did I miss something or were you not putting two MP60's on here? Any reason for the change? Also love the dimensions, same exact size i've been planning for a while. How do you like the flow your getting?

When I received the Tunze, I install the magnet inside the overflow box and was very happy with the flow. Even at 30% power, the 6255 can push the water to the other end of the tank. I've been running anti sync pulse mode on these two 6255s and very very happy with the result of the tank. Quote:
I don't regret what has transpired, just a little disappointed at myself that I haven't learned anything from the previous 3 tank transfers that fish were the most troublesome for me. I'm slowly restocking the fish... Been having very good result with fish from Liveaquaria and it's currently the only place I've bought from to add to the tank.

This is a stunningly beautiful tank!
Can I ask what camera you are using to take pictures with? |

This is my all time favorite. If I can only keep one, it probably would be this one.
Pink Lemonade Another Classic. Pearl Berry Acropora Sp. I'm starting to like it. And two very special acros to a friend whom I'm holding them for. Hope he will get the tank up and running soon.

Well, I ran out of time, the MH turned off and I don't feel like taking pictures of corals under Halloween lighting. Will continue the update tomorrow and compile a video over the weekend.

Amazing. Random question, how do you plan on installing floors in your basement with that tank already in place? Cant imagine how much the total weight must be...10,000 pounds?

This is me - really great job on the whole project. I always find it incredible some of the work people do here on this forum. It takes a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to do projects like this. I have a 240 still sitting in its crate in my garage because I can't finish my simple den with Wainscot and paint. Yet you have knocked out an entire basement.
Really impressive and the results are incredible.

Wow - this is a seriously amazing tank. Being in a similar situation in terms of having to do work on the basement (not quite as serious as you had to though), its nice to see someone with a similar starting level of DIY experience take on this scale of project. In terms of the tank this is a beautiful build that I will definitely be keeping track of as it continues to evolve (sad to hear about the first loss - cursed powder blue tangs). Definitely inspiring in terms of the photography as well - will be looking forward to using my D800 once my setup is in place - I've been looking for an excuse to buy a 105 macro .

Hawkin again. I have like 3 colonies. Everytime I break something I glue it somewhere else in the tank.
