took one down, put one up!

so I finally took down the 93 corner that I had and downsized. i found this beautiful just about brand new IM int 50 on CT. craigslist at a huge deal and drove down the next morning to get it. I recently put up a fluval edge build that I did for my corals but I decided to move them in this one now.

what I bought-
IM50 tank, IM stand and Trigger crystal sump

what I added-
2x AI Prime HD
Red Sea Reefer 300 skimmer
BRS gfo reactor
Jebao RW4

it was a big downgrade but I love the simplicity and how it looks in the space.
it's a little cloudy right now, my BSJ is digging himself new tunnels at the moment.

thanks I changed the rock work up a little due to the yellow tang I had in there. I had him in there while I set up a quarantine tank to hold him for a little. nothing is too happy in there at the moment lol

got kinda tired of rocks moving when I cleaned the tank so I ended up using hydraulic cement and changed the whole rockwork around while I was at it...tank is a little bit cloudy rn bc of a water change I'll post some more later.

Rock work looks nice! A question for you if you don't mind. I have not used hydraulic cement yet. How long does it take to dry without having to worry about cement mixing with water or leaving tank dry for too long?

it was my first time using it...i had my rock out for at least 1hr before I put it back in the tank. I did wrap my rock with paper towels to keep them as wet as long as possible. skimmer is still going crazy from it but all my corals, acros and fish are doing great. it worked out at the end but if I'm going to do it again it will be with dry rock.

Looks awesome fam! Gotta bug you on that cement when the time comes so I prepare ahead of time.
