Recently started out with this hobby and decided to upgrade my initial planned 3x1.5x1.5 to this 3x2x2.5 tank setup. (after seeing bro vanDeam's tank....) (a dream tank of mine...haha..) So decided to go with this new tank. quite a difficult tank to work with as its 2.5 deep... plan: a major coral tank.

Can't wait to see your new creation bro... yes 2.5' is great for nice tall scaping with plenty of room for fishes to swim around... but you do need long arms though :lol: Now that reminds me of a 3ft height tank I've seen recently... total killer :pinch:

Nice process bro... well documented... is the MH fixture secured properly? The last thing you want is the MH to slide by an inch and the whole fixture drop into the tank :o Safety first :)

current parameter.... reading is

Nitrate =  <1mg/litre

Nitrite =  0.1mg/Litre

KH =      5dKH

Mag = 1140ppm

Sg = 1.019

Hows all the parameter going?

Not good... you better bring improve before collecting the corals from bro Vandeam. Here's how you can improve within the next few days:

KH = 8 to 9dKH

Mag = 1300ppm (at least)

Sg = 1.023 - 1.025

Ca = 400 - 450

pH = 7.9 - 8.3

Temperature = shouldn't exceed 30ºC

I think the most critical is actually the Sg and your Alkalinity (KH). Don't collect the corals if your water is not ready :erm:

All the best bro :)

That's a great idea...

Bro I also notice there's a Sea Cuke inside your tank... is it still in there? Or MIA? Must keep a close eye on it... in fact it shouldn't be in there (I know... it's probably free from another reefer) but if you Sg is 1.019, there's a high chance that the Sea Cuke may not survive... and a major disaster can happen if your Sea Cuke not removed from the tank within hours... they release toxin when they die (rot/dissolve) :o
