75g Lets See

Anthony Reefer · 12/09/2012, 09:50 PM

I am planning on getting a 75g reef and am wondering what set up, aquascape,
Coral theme(SPS,LPS,Mixed,etc.)and fish types. This will be my Christmas Present and want it to be awesome I was thinking purple tang or a magnificent foxface, bluespot jawfish or yellow watchman goby, banggai cardinal or pajama cardinal, starry blenny or lawnmower blenny.

Thanks guy this is not just a tank for me but a tank for us,(Reef Central Community)

Feel free to post pictures of you tank a friends tank or some tank you saw and liked on youtube. I plan to do a full build thread and a video line on youtube so this is pretty important.

An octopus would be cool but my friend was planning on putting one of those in one of his nanos an I was going for more of a fish and coral look you know...

Awesome Idea though

Here's my 75 gallon sps reef. Don't mind the phone picture. Still a very new tank, and waiting for things to fill in, but I'm happy with it.

I'm running a 6x54w ATI Sunpower Dimmable for lighting. For filtration I have a Super Reef Octopus 1000 skimmer, carbon/GFO reactors, and ~10g refugium.

dont do a tang. The tank is too small for a tang. It will get way aggressive in a space that small. They are constant linear movers and need lots of space.
Im setting up a 11' tank and still only going to have 1 maybe 2 tangs.
But that is an awesome gift. Praises to you.

I want to do a 75g sps, so i'll be following along. They are so difficult and picky it's annoying. I thought i could get away without spending so much, but these sps keep you on your feet.
