Kar's 55g Red Sea Reef Thread

This is going to be a bit of a PITA though, Ive unhooked the RO/DI, sold a few bits, moved the tank into the garage and almost caused myself a hernia when I tried moving everything at once.

How about a nano?

I think I will sell the tank I have now because it has alot of scratches which annoy me, they can't be seen if you dont know they are there but I do so I can't help but notice them. I will probably get a glass tank this time round, I'm looking for a shallow tank. 75 gallon would be great.
 
I've found a 48x20x18 which is a good size and brings me up to 75gal. It also makes me an official member of the Shallow Reef Club! :D

hey hey karrrr. hows things going ? any updates on the now shallow 75 ?

I need to get the tank first :D. But, I may decide to keep the tank I have now and get something to buffer the scratches out or just polish it off a little.
 
Thanks for the link, Chris. I looked at the Novus before but just never got around to buying any, I guess I just felt there was no need to because the scratches weren't that big at the time. Then for some reason I started seing more little hairline ones although I did really have to look to find them. The biggest suspect was Coco but he then passed on to the great reef in the sky and then it came to me.............Algae magnet!!! I dont know why I hadn't thought of it in the first place, I have always used them. So I decided to dump the magnet and get my hands salty! Never saw another scratch since.

Now the next question is, Do I go BB? What would y'all say.
 
I have no idea what I want to stock the tank with yet, I was thinking that since I will be getting a 75, I could get a PBT and move it to the 200 but there is no set date for the 200 so I will wait. There will be a Tang in there, either Yellow or Purple and probably a pair of clowns, a Wrasse or 2 and 2 or 3 Anthias.
 
That would probably work okay with BB. I'm not sure about the wrasse ones though.. but a PBT will be okay in the 75 if you buy a small one and leave lots of open space. That's what I did for Ocean and he was fine for the year he was in there... but I did create the tank around him though.
 
There are many 3-4" PBT's for sale around me and I suppose if the 200 wasn't setup in time I could move him on to a bigger reef until it is. I'll give it a think.
 
I have decided I am going to setup the tank around X-Mas/New Year and will gather up all my equipment until the time comes. What would y'all recommend as a good skimmer for a 75gal - 100gal system.

That looks almost too sexy for my tank! $270 is quite good price too IMO but if they ship over here that would a killler I think.

maybe not----call Joe the owner and talk to him--he is great.

He worked both parts of the border for me so all I payed was 40 dollars shipping--no duties or anything else

the number is on the web site
