Trials and tribulations!!
All went quite well with the move-over; Saturday night left me with this
From there I finished of the plumbing of the overflows (in hindsight should have had 3) and started lying in the sump framework. In addition to the 4x4 supporting leg I added another 2x4.
Next I drained the old sump and washed it out and plumbed it in with the skimmer and the returns (note the tee for the SH tank.
Had to modify the sump layout due to me being a numpty! Didn’t measure the skimmer correctly and it didn’t fit. This is the new layout.
Then I had to drain the old tank and move the livestock and the LR out.
Corals
Fish
LR
The LR you see here has been in the Blue tub with a 1700lph and old tank water. From there it’s been given a RO dip’n’shake then into 50/50 old/new tankwater. And look what I found.
After this the LR was put in the new tank using milliput feet and all stuck together. Then the rest of the 50/50 water was pumped in.
Fish and corals where acclimatised over a 2hour period (Drip fill pump out, drip fill pump out etc etc)
Skimmers going
Bit wet ATM but needs dialing in.
And that’s it for now need to sort out the lighting and the topoff. Got an Ehime 2215 running floss, carbon and Phos buster.
Nest need to sort out the wiring
And a little video of the skimmer, I forgot that the camera right the picture when you turn the camera on its side however you can’t turn you monitor on its side soooooo tilt those heads!!
Next lights!
