75 gallon build

That's why I got the torch to host the clown. I didn't want an anemone going around stinging the whole tank

I don't blame you. Although I have a GBTA in my tank, but I got him first so once he settled in I added corals. There's always the chance he'll decide to walk though, and I'll be ****ed.

I glued my frag on piece of live rock round kinda like a frag plug so i could move it around if i had to but I dont have the buldozer snails though..Those big ones you have??.. But ever since i removed my Compact Floros off the 10g and put the leds 6" 6w 6rb above the water the monticap almost doubled in size in 3 months. No special salt just regular water changes.. I think IMHO would glue it to a piece of small live rock for now so your able to move it around for now, so you can eventually finnaly decide its permanet place later as you plan out the rest of coral placements.
 
before you put in any live stock drill that thing!!!

Looks a little late for that.

And drilling isn't necessary, just a little more accident-proof. I use a lifereef siphon overflow and it works fantastic. Just rig up a float switch alarm with a couple of relays, or buy one, and you'll be safe.

Yeah the snails keep bulldozing my monti and just last night my eagle eyes were face down in the sand :(.

Any advice?

I have an automatic top of system that has a 5 gallon resevoir.

What are you using as adhesive? Do you have water grade 2 part epoxy? Mix that up and add some super glue to the outer portions where you glue it to the rock and coral, it will give you a strong bond that turbo snails will have a hard time breaking.

IMO, turbo snails are more of a nuisance than they are good, it's not unheard of to have those guys topple over your aquascaping. In a 75 they are a bit overkill.

Yeah I have about 10-12 of them in there. I'll go to the fih store to get some adhesive to help from the snail rampage. Thanks for the advice. I just stuck them on the rock for now.

What would you suggest instead of turbo? Ceriths?

Ceriths and Nerite are good. You can also get Astreas, but they're kind of annoying. If they fall on their back and you don't flip them over they will die. Check out http://reefcleaners.org/
they have really good prices on clean up crews. Just don't pick a premade crew for a 75, it's way overkill.
