Grizz717's 75G Build

[Grizz717]

Sent my Ocean Revive regular lights back today. Decided I really do need the Ocean Revive T247 with remote and digital display! Should be here by Tuesday.

I've got diatoms! Yeah.:celeb1:
Picked up a few goodies yesterday. Frogspawn and BirdsNest.

:dance: I remember that feeling well. Mine are starting to drive me a little batty, though. :lol:

Nice frags!

 

[mmittlesteadt]

I'm getting diatoms as well. I look at it this way...My rocks have some color.

 

[Grizz717]

Yes! Rocks have color and it's another step in the tank maturation process. Also, I'm glad my snails have something to eat.

Update
Tank is doing well.
Fish - 2 False Percula clowns, 2 Kauderns Cardinals, 1 Scooter Blenny, 1 Black Mollie, 1 Royal Gramma, cleaner shrimp, Emerald Crab
Corals - Aussie Green Torch, Frogspawn, Joker Favia, ORA Setosa Birdsnest, Regular Birdsnest, Anthelia, Clove, Reverse Superman Montipora, Acan, Plain acropora, Striped Green Mushroom, Blue Mushroom, 2 CandyCanes, Favia.

i think i will slow down for a while.

One problem: Originally had a pair of Picasso clowns. One died in quarantine. Purchased pair of False Perculas who became a pair in quarantine. When I put the Perculas in they chased the Picasso into jumping in the overflow. fished him out and put him back in. they chased him again and i moved him to the Sump. He'll be there until i can figure out what to do or get another tank.

Looks good grizz.
It's going to really nice when those all grow in...

 

[ZeeSparrow]

Right on, Grizz! Looks good. Glad everything is going well for you.

Was the mollie already acclimated to SW or did you do that yourself. Very cool either way.

 

[Grizz717]

Thanks RingingEars and Zee. Trying hard. I acclimated the Black Mollie myself. Bought a pair and dripped acclimated for 45 minutes and then put them in. Female lasted 5 days, but the male has been going strong for about three months now. May but two more females and put them in. On the fence because I have some Dragons Breath Red Macro in the sump that I want to put in the main DT and I'm scared they'll eat it.

I was playing with the light intensity last night and accidentally left them on until 1:30 AM. Hopefully i didn't do too much damage.

A local reefer had his 265G and 120 G start leaking within 24 hours of each other. He's decided to get out of the Hobby and sell everything. I bought about 25 LBS of live rock with some Cabbage coral, orange zoas and green zoas. Another large rock with some leather coral I put in the quarantine tank for a while.

Oh bummer for him, but great opportunity for you. Nice coralline on those rocks. Zoos...eek!

Put Shrimp and fish in bag to start cycle. I'll wait two days before I test the water parameters.

 

[RingingEars]

Nice score.
The coralline on those rocks are going to be great for seeding the rest of your tank.

 

[Grizz717]

Yeah. I think I've got a good start. Patience.
