Hello,
I have a 55 Gallon Tank which I have had now for almost three years. After wanting to upgrade to 90 for about a year, my wife was very kind of buying an all glass 90 with Corner overflow. Today, I bough the new stand and I am ready to start my project of upgrading my tank.
I have heard from friends that the process should take at least about three weeks. but now that I have all the pieces together I am not so sure that what I originally though should be simple is going to be "that simple"
I would like to hear suggestion related to the best of connecting the plumbing together and how should I proceed to move stuff from one tank to another without loosing any of my fish or coral.
Here is what I have for my new tank:
* All Glass 90 with Corner Overflow
* Amiracle
Wet/Dry (that's all it says outside as I bough it from a friend that was not running his tank anymore
* Top Fathom 100 (got it from the same friend)
* Planning to use my same Coralife 48" lights (4 x 64 Watts 10000K +
Actinic) on the new tank. (I hope they are enough, but if not, please let me know)
My old tank is running like this:
* 55 all glass (drilled a hole in the corner)
* My own made
wet/dry
* Modified Skilter (i added a woodstone and an air pump and closed the venturi tube) was working very well
* Coralife lights (as I described above)
I have on the tank:
1 blue tank.
1 Maroon clown fish
1 Stripped Damsel
1 Orange spotted Goby
1 Cleaner Shrimp
1 Sea urchin
1 Sand Sifting starfish
1 Maroon Anemone
1 Rock full of green polyps
1 Rock full of brown polyps
1 Bubble Coral
1 Clam
1 rock full of purple mushrooms
1 brown mushroom
- I like to know how much more
live rock should I buy (or alternatives)
- Does this protein
skimmer go before the
wet/dry or after?
- Any procedures that I should follow so nothing dies.
Please suggestion, tips, mistakes I should not make, or any think I am not thinking of are very welcome.
Regards,
K
