I understand what you are saying now. Thanks for clearing that up.
Now with the reactors you linked me earlier, what kind of pump and other accessories do I need and where can I get them from?
Thanks again.

You should be able to order everything from Marine Depot.

Phosban Reactor

Phosban (GFO) Media

Hydrocarbon Media

Mxi-Jet 600 Feed Pump

Everything above would be for a 2 reactor setup. The only additional supplies you would need are vinyl tubing and a tee, which you should be able to pick up at any Lowe's or Home Depot.

If you decide to only go with one reactor then this pump would be sufficient:

Mini-Jet 404 Feed Pump
 
CAPN, I have 2 Koralia 4's and a 3500 Ocean Runner return pump that's rated at 900gph. The return line is opened 3/4 of the way with a ball valve. Is that sufficient?

Tswifty8, thanks for the help!

I run my carbon in a phosban reactor. I have two reactors, the other actually has PhosBan in it. My nitrates are at about 2 right now. But I have been overfeeding...

Man that is one clean job on the silicone.... I forgot to silicone the sides of the inner piece before the outer on mine and it looks as if a kindergarten kid did it. But she works! lol (minus one leaky spot I gotta fix)

Nice work.
 
Its a 75, not that high, toppling should really come into play if he buried the base rock. If the rock isnt drilled you can just use underwater putty to hold everything in place. I kept mine free standing in my 110, because of ever changing desing plans
 
quick question,
If I went with the blue tang as you suggested, can I also get a yellow tang or will that be too much?
 
I personally would not stick a blue tang in a 75 gallon tank. Outside of the fact they get rather large. They are known for becoming extremely aggressive when placed in smaller aquariums, and some have even been known to take out corals when this happens.

I don't think 2 adequately sized tangs would be a big deal, but I would avoid any of the "big guys" (Naso, Sohal, Blue... etc.)

Have you considered a Purple & Yellow?

That's what I figured but someone mentioned the blue tang would not grow that big and that it would be fine. Is the purple and yellow tang the one that looks the same as the yellow tang but purple instead? I thought tangs fight with fish similar to their shape?
 
what other tangs would you recommend?
The yellow tang in your avatar looks perfect, it's hard to find ones like that in stores near me.
 
The Kole has a different temperment based on what I have seen. I have seen yellow Tang take out large powder blues.....and various other Tangs I like them but it will be a long time before another one is in my tank.
