I feel for sure that now in some time from now, this SPS tank will be running finally
As of this moment, both the 180 and 240 gal reef tanks, are being empty of all its contents of both water and LR. As is, I been running through my mind on the further more expenses in order to have both tanks up and running to where it be acceptable to me. As is, both tanks require a great deal of rebuilding to which would make them only then, idealistic reef systems.
When I think of on how difficult it is these days to get a few thousand for the year saved up. That is in comparison to more then five years ago to when I was able to get together as much as $7-8,000 in a year time, and now I feel that its more around $2-2,500 for the year.
Its now going on 5.5 years sense I moved into my new home, I still not am enjoying a SPS system as yet. But it is in the progress area now to where soon, James will rebuild the filtration system, but only on the 240. As of right now, Jeff of fish world had set the 240 with a return pump, a rio that pumps 1490 gph, and it splits too two return pipes, and the chiller will also be put on its own filter system. Everything was wrong to what I wanted most to do here.
So a further decision was also made, the 180 is being dropped and later when the 180 is out, the two eel tank system I have, will be moved into the place where the 180 now stands. Also, rather then leaving the two tank system as eels only tanks, I will not later have new canopies build for both the 70 and 130 and run on them VHO`s. Keeping mostly soft corals with one tang in the 70 and a Rabbitfish in the 130. My idea is still for the larger tank, to have a pair of Ribbon eels, and that the majority of their diet will be live hunting prey. Other then the non-live like octopus and squid clams and such.
All I know right now is that James who I meet not too long ago, he will get me going here. Time is on my side, for as is, I waited already nearly 5.5 years up to now, what is another month or so and once its going, it will take a while to reactivate the LR. So as is, I made my mind up as for the ribbon eels, now I need to reach a decision on what smaller pair of eels for the 70 gal tank.
Also in the larger tank for the Ribbons, im planning to have a deeper sandbed, of six inches and have in place, two PVC pipe. SO its now been more then nine years ago sense I first made plans for two SPS reef systems, and now im only going to have one. And being now that it will only be one major SPS system, I already told the new owner of downunder that I will be extremely picky on the SPS corals, that a small frags will cost somewhere around $80-150, if not more per coral.
