75 gallon blew up.. project 180RR

[Joe0813]

i love it... when i bought my dry rock i got some pretty big pieces and i was thinking craaap this all is nooot going to fit... then i realized i had waaay more width then the 75... i just cant waaait to get these other radions but work is very very slow right now so my paychecks are pretty low... after bills ill have about 70 dollars left.. which goes to gas and food so hopefully things pick back up soon so i can finish this thing off

Well I had a KIA... my jerk mystery wrasse decided out of no where to jump 8 inches up and over my sump

 

[Joe0813]

im doing out my stock list for this tank and im trying to figure out what fish i want... here is my list so far. might change

Already in the tank
- 2 ocellaris clowns
- carpenters flasher wrasse


the list (not in order)
- Blue hippo tang
- Yellow eye Kole tang
- Powder blue or Brown tang... will go in at the same time as the yellow tang
- Yellow tang.... will go with the powder blue or brown
- Yellow watchmen goby pair with pistol shrimp
- 4 lyretail anthias (3 female 1 male)
- 2 clown gobies.... maybe? not sure if i want them

I also am buying a pair of freshwater mollies that will be in my display fuge. hopefully they breed and make a natural food source

Tank is looking good. Stock list looks colorful. I always just goto the LFS see what is available. I always find something i didnt think of thta fits in the tank. You can also find fish with some serious personalities like this to.

 

[Joe0813]

i always go to the LFS just so i can actually see the fish and its personality before i buy it.

Update:
Just bought two more radions.... so now I just need the bracket so I don't have to hang the lights.
So next step is buy the reef octopus POV dc2. Anyone have any experience with them? Heard good things about them.

UPDATE

Put in my new carpenters wrasse and got my other two radions with a reefkoi stand.

Your tank is coming along nicely! How do you like your lights? Did you run Radions on your 75gallon?

 

[Joe0813]
