Next step was buffing the tank. I used an orbital palm sander starting from 600 going all the way up to 10k grit sandpaper, it was definitely a long process and I can say I spent several hours at a time inside of the tank. Much soreness followed, i used a handheld polisher to remove the hazing...

After the stand frame, I started working on the canopy. I had a few things i wanted resolved with the canopy: I wanted lights to be inside of the canopy. My previous tank, the 180 gallon, had the lights coming out of the top. This made being next to it annoying as the light bleed would cause...

First things first, I needed a stand. I decided the best way to go about it would be building one myself. Made the frame from pine, then layered the outside of it with oak. some tips for future stand builders: get a kreg pocket hole jig. I was a believer that the kreg jig was overhyped and...

mine ate all my catfish hehe

Before the tank even came down, I wanted to have the new tank ready to go. I picked up a used Acrylic tank for a pretty good price, at almost the exact dimensions I wanted. I originally wanted glass, but a new tank was financially out of the question and there was no one selling a glass tank...

thanks! It was sold to me as a chicago sunburst

Hi! some of you recognize me around the forum, some of you have bought or sold coral or equipment from me. Point is, I'm way overdue a tank thread but always hesitated because it had already been set up. I'll be going from a 180 gallon to a 300 gallon acrylic tank, documenting experiences...

Same dude tried to get me. They insisted on shipping a tank, when I said I could just pick it up they just stopped replying. Behumblefox229 was indeed the username of the member that PMd me, no posts in history

Mine are basic Sunset montipora Tyree red dragon acropora Green slimer I'm lucky to have pieces of all three growing currently

Sargassum triggerfish. I had one for a bit when my tank crashed. Cant find another decently priced one

Calcium reactor if you can. But when my levels dropped I used the red sea powdered stuff to bring it back up

I never got a shirt

It works wonders. Going in my biggest worry was the effect that it would have on the macroalgae I try to keep, but so far results have been positive and they seem to be doing much better!

Day 9, happy with results so far. Did a 10 gallon water change, added 1 tablet of fluconazole to make up for lost water and skimmate

Day 7, bryo really took a hit. No algae effects still, skimmer is going back online today. Caulerpa is growing beautifully, halimeda opunta is actually branching upwards. Even the botryocladia is coloring back up .

Day 6, noticing more melting on the bryo. Maybe a heavier dose would've had a faster effect, but I couldn't risk the macroalgae. So far nothing else seems to have had any reaction to the fluconazole. The botryocladia that had it growing out of the bubbles does seem to be turning white though

Small update. Day 3, looks like the bryopsis is turning white. Corals and fish have shown absolutely no effect

I'm starting a fluconazole treatment today. I'll use this thread to log and record data as well as upload pics, hopefully it'll help someone else down the road! It started a few months ago, when a small bit of fuzz started growing in my 60 gallon macro tank. Things were kind of relaxed until it...
