I have talk a lot on this forum and in the chat about the tanks i am now in charge of at my university which now i get credit for. Anyways, it has been a very slow process and the old care taker is still taking his things back. I was not left with much. a borken prizm skimmer, and a tank full of aptisia on rock that is also the old care taker. Working on setting up a new 75 gallon reef which is cycling with dry rock. Planning on seeding it with some liverock and garf grunge. Though the tank is cycleing i have yet to finish the plumbing and still need to build a hood for the mh lights i got from a local reefer. If my keyboard wasn't dieing i would type some more. Here are a few of the pics. Not much happening yet.
Old 40 gallon invested with apitisia. Most likely tare down if i can't get the pest in control.
Only has mushrooms and CUC
The pest just on one small rock!
The next pictures are of the new tank. I went with dry rock because of cost and have been doing a lot of reading about seeding rock to preserve natuarl fiji, tonga, and other types of live rock. A slow moving project, but i am not complaining.
I am hoping that i can get everything up and running very soon here so i will keep you all posted.
