So...since some maybe know I got a self build frag tank...which is 40 gallon. So I decided to go with a 55 gallon so that my new pet moray dragon eel will have the entire bottom part to himself and the top will contain all my frags close to my two t5 wave point light fixtures. I am very excited about this!!
So the story is: Friend of mine from the EMS station called me up that his friend left his house and left behind a 55 gallon freshwater. He asked if i want to take it. So my boyfriend and me got there and took the fish to a near fish store and cleaned out the tank. I cleaned the entire thing and took the silicone off. An hour ago I finished resealing it again. My apartments stinks like vinegar now. Kinda makes me throw up. hate the smell...so the A/C is running on full to make this smell go away and so that the silicone dries faster.
So the tank will be sitting in my bedroom...not sure how that will turn out since i wake up from each tiny noise! the tank will run off a self build skimmer....no sump...since it will be only the eel and the coral. and i don't way to ruin the coral. All my tank so far have been only running with a skimmer and things worked out just great with it.
So I will be posting some pictures soon. The tank will be set and done this weekend i believe or by monday since the silicone is brand new on the tank. I a will transfer all the stuff from the 40 gal frag tank into the new one so it wont need to cycle for long. Will use the old water from my 28 gal biocube for the additional 15 gallon and some fresh mixed water. I am very excited...
