These are the NP AIO Pellets correct? Any issues with cyano or bacteria blooms?

Have you found vodka/vinegar or the pellets to be more affective?

Getting excited, Mr Bill helped or I should say I helped Mr Bill build the stand for the 300DD.
I should get the tank in the basement next week and make the switch soon after

Ahhh... sawdust! And power tools.
Those always make for some excitement!

I'll ask this just based on previous build threads here...
You do have a way to get that stand in the house through a doorway; correct?!

No problems the stand is disassembled already and being reassembled in situ.

All ready to go. Not pretty but its for Jon's in wall installation. The double thick legs are asymmetrical to clear the bottom plumbing at the back of the tank and be flush in front for the drywall.

Too bad I don't live closer or I would be down for some helping move, and checking out the science lab (mostly).

 

[Fragtastic Reef]

Oh man a 300 double d. Hell ya!

 

[Jonty]

Tank is in the "tank room" and I mounted up the new UV and return plumbing that will be used.

Now it is time to cut the wall out to accommodate the tank. Ugh

 

[Kepler]

Is the 300 replacing the current tank or are you running both?

 

[Jonty]

Replacing

 

[mrbill]

Its wet!

Spent the day with Jon and Chad Vossen helping with the transfer to the new 300DD. Here are a couple of photos of before, during and after. Jon still has some cleaning up and aquascaping but its up and running.

 

[Pumbooris]

Nice tank it sure makes the other one seem small

 

[Jonty]

well 2 weeks into the tank move things are not to bad, added a couple of anthills 2x Borbinus, a golden Rhomboid and Lineatus wrasse, plus a couple of others here and there.
If you play the video full screen at high res you get a nice shot of the Rhomboid and Lineatus at the end. Oh and I have been getting into LPS lately LOL

Looking great!

 

[jlanger]

That's a great looking Lineatus!
A wrasse I would love to have if I had a bigger tank; if I had a bigger tank....
And your LPS collection looks great also.
