My 75 gal. SPS BB thread

[Feerlaroc]

Hello Fellow Reeferz
I just recently (about a month ago) got finished cooking my LR & upgraded my 75 gal. into the tank I always wanted it to be. I have a few tiny xenias, and a few ricordea in there that will come out soon, but it is going to be SPS only in the future. I would like to thank all of you BB SPS guru's out there for helping me make my decisions while lurking in this forum ! Well here goes...

75 Gallon tank running BB
Euro-reef skimmer
DIY auto top-off
2 SEIO 2600's & a MJ1200
Mag 9.5 return pump
2-400w DE fixture (20k) with 2 125w PC actinics

My current livestock list
Orange digi
German orange polyped digi
ORA blue digi
Purple digi
Pink xenia (I know get it out) but it all crashed in my softy tank
Tan xenia
Brazilian giant xenia
Pinapple brain
Caulestra
Unknown encrusting monti (mostly green) ID's welcome
Superman monti frag
Rainbow monti frag
Soloman island acro
Unknown blue/purple acro ID's welcome
Purple vidalia

A lot of my monti's are browned out from being in my other tank under 3 PC bulbs & high nutrients, but are slowly regaining color (thank god) It's so cool to finally see corals coloring up in my tank instead of browning out. I hope this system succeds in growing some of these corals out as I have always wanted to do. Any suggestions or questions are more than welcome & thank you for taking the time to look at my thread !

[Feerlaroc]

Thanks all, No criticism or suggestions ? I just picked up 2 firefish to put in this tank. 1 normal & 1 purple. I'm just worried about all the BB bleaching sps threads so I wanted to get a few fish in there ASAP.

Not to steal anything from the thread but why post this in the first place if your not trying to state your opinion or "start a war" as you call it? Sorry, just curious.

looks good, if you want suggestions..... im not a huge fan of the aquascaping... once you get your corals to grow in youll be fine, but right now it kind of looks like a huge pile of rocks, maybe try moving some stuff around?

 

[Feerlaroc]

Agreed gfk I need to re-aquascape I think the same thing, Kinda hard to be too different because everything is on a 4-5" tall eggcrate rack to hold up the rocks. Thanks 4 the suggestion I'm on it ! I love my new firefish BTW they are cool, How many does it take to get them to school?

 

[Feerlaroc]

Thanks for the compliment plreef I love that frag too & hope it colors up a little better.

 

[PL-Reef]

it took my supperman frag allmost a month to color up. just give it some time and it will realy ROCK!

 

[Feerlaroc]

Are any of you BB guys using Prodibio ? I was reading a thread about it & wondering if it works good enough to justify the cost for a BB tank.

 

[Feerlaroc]

Just wanted to post a pic of my new aquisition.

 

[gregm5]

your unknown acro under the orange digi looks like a tenuis

 

[Feerlaroc]

Cool thanks for the I.D. I think thats what they told me that was at the store I picked it up at after they saw this thread.

 

[Feerlaroc]

What types of fish will school and be safe with firefish ??? I'm looking at keeping mostly docile fish in this tank.
