As some of you know, my dad has been setting up an All-Glass 210. This did not happen in the timely manner it was supposed to, so I doubt my dad will ever be returning to the LFS that set us up. The initial start-up was early July, one month to put a tank is WAY too long in my opinion. By the time the tank was fully setup, the rock was completely cycled.
The LFS we went to was in a partnered ownership. One partner was going to steal the vendors and run, just after they took the money my dad paid them for his tank and funneled it from the corporate account into their credit card accounts. Countless other things went wrong, but we finally got here.
The tank is a All-Glass 210g (72x24x29) on a BRI cabinet. Equipment is as follows:
38 gallon sump/refugium
Coralife Needle-Wheel Skimmer 220
UV sterilizer of some sort (2ft long)
ReeFlo 3600gph Main Pump
Coralife Aqualight Advanced PRO 72" - 3x250MH, 4x65w Actinics, 4x1w Moonlights
Pond Pump for extra circulation behind rock (300gph at current head)
~350lbs LR - Fiji and Tonga mixed
With all of that, we have had GREAT customer service with LiveAquaria, and my dad enjoys shopping there.
Once we got it all cycled, and equipment all setup he ordered fish, snails, and hermits.
12 - EXTRA large Blue/Green Chromis...when LiveAquaria says XL they mean XL. These are 3" each.
10 - Nassarius Snails
4 - Margarita Snails
6 - Halloween Hermits
Stand
Plumbing/Water
Equipment
Full of water
Rock/Sand
First rock amount (200lbs)
New rock (on sale too!)
Rock added
Rock rearranged
Rock final
