Yep, original post should have said ac unit, not just unit
Cant wait to see this tank cycled and coral added. You have enough light to grow acros on the moon.
Little update on progress.. Tank has been cycling along perfectly and I am just about ready to begin stocking.
Had a run of bad luck with my return pump and am now on number 3. Fingers crossed, 3rd time is a charm right?
Also had time to work on my 40g QT setup. Coming along..

Well it was supposed to be a QT tank... lol
Well... I made an unimaginable, horrible mistake. I discovered this about 2 weeks ago and have been going back and fourth on what to do and have decided to drain the tank. I really do not see any other options...
When the tank was initially set on the stand, I shimmed it and set a level line to the tank with the intentions of planing down the stand surface. Well, I somehow forgot about the shims and the trim I attached covered it from sight. So the tank is completely full, cycled, sitting on shims
What a stupid mistake

That really stinks hopefully some of the brains on here can help find another way
oh man - thats a LOT of weight to have like that.
I would drain, reset, refill.
I know it's a long way - but I'd be happy to lend you 2 60 gallon pickle barrels (they've been clean and being used for RODI for over 5 years) plus at least 1 brute so you could save as much water as possible.
Other than it taking a couple hours - I don't think it's a major setback. You shouldn't hurt your cycle or anything like that - the tank will probably cloud up for a day but I would think that's the only impact.

That would be a huuuge help having somewhere to put the water, I really appreciate that. Will be in touch
I have some brute's and containers you can use.
Its times like these I wonder why I am in this hobby. Oh well, I know we all have our moments
Everything is settling in nicely after the transfer/transfer back.
I ended up ditching the side tank entirely and used that space for a workstation, complete with mini fridge/freezer so my lazy butt doesn't have to walk to the kitchen to feed
Just ordered a quartz top for the counter so excited for that to come in.

Some of the first frags in the tank-
My favorite frag by far---
Yep the extra tanks always seem like a great idea then they just turn into a distraction. For me at least

nice build
Given the initial issues and restart.. I guess this is the first tang in the tang reef. Deserves a pic
