I've always wanted to start a tank journal of a build from scratch but my lazy ass stopped me every time I attempted XD. Soon I realized that I already had a fully stocked rsr 350 system running...
But since it is a G1 Red Sea and by looking at all those tank failures online I decided to do an upgrade sometime this year. I was following the UNS R systems since they announced it last year and really liked the sleek design. Lucky enough there was a great deal for a r120 offered by @ClearWaterAquarium recently so I jumped on it and here we are
Great chance to start documenting what I'm doing!
I will be transferring everything from my rsr350 to this setup soon (probably this weekend). The UNS system is just slightly bigger than the 350 so I will probably just keep the rock scape and do some minor changes later on
The tank basically came pre-assembled so there wasn't much work in putting it together. Huge thanks to @t0mmy108 for helping with moving the tank and leveling it!
Finally can get rid of the diy controller cabinet and stuff everything into the stand
As of now the tank has already been filled and running for a week, getting ready for the transfer (door was damaged upon delivery, but the replacement is already on its way!). Threw a couple bio blocks in there from my old system and added new sand
FTS of the rsr 350 that I took two months ago
Have been matching the parameters of the two systems this week to get ready for the move. Will be using old tank water and rocks with new sand. Since there's only a 30 gallon difference it'll be similar to a water change (hopefully XD)
List of equipments that I am using
---------------------------------------
Lights: ReefBreeder Meridians
Flow: MP40*2 + Maxspect gyre 330*2
Controller: Neptune Apex A3 pro
Return: Sicce Syncra SDC
Skimmer: Red Sea 300 (want to change this soon it will overflow once in a while for unknown reason)
Filtration: Reef mat (hopefully it'll fit in the UNS sump)
Dosing: Reefdose4 with Red Sea 4 part
