75gallon mixed reef diary

brandon7491 · 03/01/2008, 05:18 PM

Well i was out and about today and saw that there is a new fish store that just oppened up today. so i said might as well go check them out. I go in there and i am very impressed at their fish and systems. I start chating with the owner,mannager,and staff and they seem like very nice people. I also happened to notice some 75gallon tanks around the store. I asked how much they were expecting them to be expensive because they just opened up. I WAS WRONG!!!! this month they said they were having a sale on 75gallon tanks for $99.00! I bought one and am now going to transfer my livestock into this tank.

specs*
75gallon tank standard undrilled (mixed reef tank setup)

2 tunze 6025 streams
2 hydro korrilla nanos
aqua c remora protien skimmer rated for 75 gallons

2 inch ls bed
70lbs lr (want less lr and more open ness than tons of lr)

2 oceanic aquamedic 150watt mhs

20gallon sump which is going to house a 2 little fishes phosbobian reactor,cheato algae,activated carbon filter sock

i will post pics of this tonight or tomorrow. n e ways this is my 1yr4mth set up 29gallon mixed reef

That looks pretty good.

I just tore my 45 gallon tank down (it started leaking) and put everything in a 29.

I like the flame a lot too. My LFS just got in a small flame and I wanted it so bad, but I have too many fish in my 29 now so no flame for me!

Again, it looks good. I'm sure the 75 will look just as good! Keep us posted.
