Hi folks, my name is Dawn and I am upgrading from my current 56g column to a standard 75g display. The main reason is I am not as tall as I once was and the tall 56g is a pain to clean, ha ha! Gotta love getting older. Actually I am also excited about having a bigger footprint for more fish too!
Like my current display, this new 75g will also have a mural on the back glass. That is where the leafy seadragons come in; sorry folks if I misled you into thinking that I was keeping seadragon! It's reminds me of when I kept and raised seahorses, which are in the same family as seadragons. Of course my tank is kind of leafy since I love macroalgae.
I plan to set this tank up simply with biology doing most of the filtering, (same as my current tank). I will be moving all my rock over, washing and re-using the sand and keeping macroalgae.
I bought a 20g high tank at a Petco sale to be the sump and home for my aged Percula clown and renegade pistol shrimp. I also am going to relocate all the rainbow nems down there. The sump will not be plumbed to the display immediately until I can gather and put the plumbing together. Display and sump will just be AIOs until that happens but the 20g will be under the cabinet. That way my fish and coral are back in a stable environment until I can do the plumbing rather than makeshift holding tanks.
