My 75g!

[ws6kid]

Well, I am proud of my tank and I wanted to show it off a little. I unfortunately was so excited about it, I forgot to take pics when I put it together 5 weeks ago.

In any case...here is it

FTS!

My Clowns (Blurry I know)

My Frog Spawn

White Duncans

Candy Canes!

Its a AGA 75g Mega Flow tank. I have both drilled spots ued for drains and a 2kgph return from my 20g sump. Have a G-2 Skimmer and a filter sock atm for filtration. Also have a Phosban 150 Reactor on the sump. Using 2x250w Metal Halides for lights.

Big sale at the fish store here this week. I might go get a GEO Calcium Reactor tomorrow! Also thinking about a Tunze Osmolator and a Remote DSB.

My overall goal is to keep an anemone for my clowns. Over the last 2.5 years it is all I have wanted and Im doing everything I can to make it happen without a loss of an animal. I havent let anything die in 2.5 years. Dont plan on starting!

Its a good little upgrade from my 29 Gallon that is in the backround of the first pic

Looking good! I added the DSB in a bucket to mine and have 0 nitrates.

My overflow grows a lot algae and junk because of the high amount of light it gets. I'm planning to cut up a cheap black plastic garbage can to make a light block over the overflow.

 

[ws6kid]

Probably not a bad idea. I do have algae already forming there.

If anyone else has any recommendations as to how I can better prep the environment for an anemone, please let me know. I have read a lot, but experience is always a plus

Oh, another thing Im proud of is that the Candy Canes, Duncans, and Frogspawn were all 1 head when I bought them. And any other corals you see I have grown from a $5 frag Hopefully with all of the recent upgrades from PC lighting and the hang on skimmer everything will really start rockin!

Looking good- the growth on the Duncan and Caulastrea is great for as short a time as they've been in there. Wish mine grew out that quickly.

2000gph return pump? that thing must be loud as hell

 

[ws6kid]

Its actually good I will be adding sides and a canopy in a week or so and it will quiet it down to a hum. Im happy with the flow. Everything but my mushrooms likes it.

Some more pics!

Justin, you need to post some pictures of the updated live rock formation. Did you get that Calc Reactor set up yet? Your fans are waiting!

Nice work. I think 75's are such a great sized tank. Small enough not to overwhelm, big enough to give lots of room for growth and learning. Great job.
