Joe Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 COVID-19 Coral Quarantine Setting this thing up very soon. Wanted to do it this weekend but I had to order something to get it started. So hopefully will be running by next weekend. For this I just dug through the equipment I had laying around. Here’s the run down. Frag Tank Small heater. It will sit here in the corner. I think. Also notice in the pic the gravity fed ATO. Got this idea from a member. Sorry can’t remember who it was right now. Not going to have any rock. So I’m trying this from Eshopps. I will place some filter floss on top of them to catch anything that may need filtered out. May or may not feed corals in here. Just depends. Found a Jeboa powerhead in the closet. May or may not use the skimmer. Again, if I’m not feeding, I’m not sure I’ll need it. Although I may put some crabs in this tank...? Running an AI Prime HD that came off my Evo.

Joe Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Up and running. I took a big rock out of the sump and threw it in there to help cycle things a bit. Not sure how long it’ll take. I’m going to give it at least a week. Then put the rock back in the dt sump and try a couple tester corals. crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 If you spend a dollar for every time you said you were never getting coral again you are going to beed a bigger tank lol I think it would look just a little better with a stand that matched the rest of your system though music 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have a bacterial bloom of some kind. I’m trying to ride it out. But been doing 50% water changes every other week when I do the 120’s water change. I may have to break down and get a uv sterilizer. music 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
