Josh and Carmie, Thanks for the welcome!!
So we got the tank and stand home and have it set up where it will be. The 37 gal is still running and I am going to keep it running until the new tank is up. Since I will be using the 45lbs
LR from the new tank and supplementing with an additional 40lbs of base rock, I do not think that there will be much of a cycle, maybe a mini one at most after I transfer my 2 fish into the new tank.
My new lights are coming today, so now is a good time for the equipment list.
48”
PC Current USA Orbit Fixture 260watts
AquaC Remora
HOB skimmer
Marineland
HOB filter running Activated Carbon
200w heater
SEIO M820 powerhead (820gph)
I know that only running one powerhead create more of a linear flow and not as turbulent as I would like, but I am trying to minimize the amount of equipment in the tank for heat purposes. Also, the Remora is only rated up to 75g, but hopefully by the end of the year, I can upgrade to a
sump set up. This should help with heat, flow and skimming capacity.
I also like the look of the tank when I run carbon.
I took some photo’s last night but my internet at home is down for the powerouts, so I can not post pics yet, but they will be up soon.
Thanks all
John
