New Holding tank, waiting for the new tank!

[Michael_Lambert]

Alright so im preparing my basement for the new 100G comming from Theo, so what im doing is i setup my what was a refugium as my main tank so i can move my corals and fish into it alowing me to move the old tank and make the room i need for the 100G as well it will be used while i clean up the new tank and cycle it..

So this is how it stands..

33G tank ( Very scratched up :( ) but it will work for nowl..

Drilled with a 1 inch hole running a closed loop with a little giant not sure what kind but it looks like im getting about 400GPH..

Lighting is 4x 30 watt NOs ( 1x powerglow, 1x aquaglow, 1x 10k 1x actinic) and then running a 10K 175 watt halide.

Total of 295 Watts getting just over 8WPG

Filtration:

40 pounds of live rock, Rest in a holding bin.. CC sand bed

Once it cleans up then i will start moving the corals over!
