Smitty's 60 cube upgrade

[Smitty]

Well, I've got the tank full and currently running. I didn't add the corals, fish, nor inverts yet. I'll add them tomorrow. My back is killing me and i haven't been asleep yet since yesterday afternoon. The skimmer and gfo is also running, and I'll add some carbon tomorrow.

Thanks Chad....I've rested and eaten breakfast, and now ready to tackle the rest of this project.

Thank you...I built my own hanging kit using steel wiring and L brackets.

It feels good when you know you can wake up and start working on tank isn't it ?

And this is what it looks like on the ceiling.

Yes it does...as tired as I was, I could hardly sleep last night/this morning. Too excited.

 

[Smitty]

It's still a tad bit cloudy...but this is what it looks like so far.

I'm loving this protein skimmer.....I emptied a full cup late last night before bed, and it's almost full again.

I'm pondering if I should put this skittish, meanish, six line wrasse in my sump, and eventually get me a much prettier wrasse instead? I'd like to add more active, colorful fish(anthias, chromis, firefish, etc.) to this tank. I've added more rocks and multiple caves, nooks and crannies so I can have multiple smaller fish constantly swimming around.

if i were u bro i would probably just get rid of the wrasse and more peaceful and color fish first and then later on if u decide u want to add another semiaggressive fish like the sixline i would add it last.. That would probably cut down the aggresssion from the fish

I 100% agree with you bro....to keep from placing him in my tank, I just threw him in the sump. He still has plenty of room down there. He'll also have plenty to eat from the fuge and food that overflows down there. He was just too aggressive and caused many of my peaceful fish to jump out the tank.

Thanks Frankie.

 

[Smitty]

Alrighty...I'm done with placing the corals, inverts and fish back into tank....I've made it cloudy again moving stuff around, but the corals are opening up and the fish are happily swimming around. Looks like no mini cycle or spike(thank goodness).
