SRC Member emanoids Posted July 16, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted July 16, 2015 My IM SR 60 finally was delivered last night to which I will be migrating my current tank which I am limited to put equipments that are HOB. Though they are doing well for the past 1.5 years, I do not feel safe and have reservation with my current tank as first it for freshwater I think and very thin 6mm thickness my dilemma is one day it will break into pieces as too many things hanging . I did a lot of youtube research and review about the build of this tank and decided to get this one . Here are the equipment that i will be using and most of them is from my current set up; Skimmer - Reef Octopus BH90 HOB I love the performance of this HOB skimmer it produces a lot of "Gunk". Lighting - Maxspect Razor R420R 16,000K LED + T5 as supplement Wavemaker - Jebao WP40 2X IM Minimax Reactor - for biopellets and GFO Chiller- Hailea HS28a And what I have accomplished in Day1; - install the hanging bracket for the lighting + install T5 supplement - clean the tank by using vinegar then dry it using a clean dry towel - added 40lbs of new live sand (seeded a few cups from my current tank - washed using tanks water) - past week i did around 40% water change in my current tank and save the water to dump in my new tank and pulled some live rocks as well and run it with pump for a week - did a test run of all pumps reactors and check a second run if there are any leaks. And that's how I spend my time off today damn tired but worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member inwear Posted July 17, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted July 17, 2015 Good choice of equipment. Very interesting setup as it brings back the old memories when i first startup. In fact my first skimmer was Reef octopus BH2000 and maxspect lighting for my 'slumpless' tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member emanoids Posted July 20, 2015 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 20, 2015 Update: Already transferred some of the rocks from during day1 (from a matured tank) to this new tank and I only added like 50% new salt mix for this tank. I put a pump on both tank - one is from new to old tank and the other is from old to new tank and been running this for like 3/4 days. Basically both tanks have the same temp and water parameters they reach the point of equilibrium. Will be moving everything once back. And I was able to organise all wirings and equipments are all set up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
