NanoGurl's 75g Reef Thread

[hermitage]

I am soo jealous of you Chaeto growth. ...that might be the nerdiest comment I've ever made in my life.

Have tried everything to get mine to grow, without success.

I'd go with the 240. Think of all the room your fish will have to swim!

Hey NanoGurl,

May I enquire as to what type of lights you use over your fuge?
I've been following your thread since day one, but I do not recall fuge lighting being mentioned -- maybe it was?

I want to get my new tank set up right from the start -- the last fuge light I used failed to grow anything.

Best Regards,
Conor.

Congrates on the engagement NG! Getting married was the best thing that ever happened to me! I'm sure you'll be very happy and I bet you're excited like crazy! Nothing felt so right like when I asked Paige to be my wife. I'm very happy for you! Good luck!!!

It was simple for me. I really put no effort into it at all. Don't give up!

Yup. I use these.

I'm sure they don't grow it as fast as some lights do, but I'm not really interested in having to remove half of it every week due to growth. This has worked well for me.

Congratulations NG, I wish you nothing but the very best NG

Oh yea....get a 180

 

[FUA]

I use similar lights for my fuge as well NG, they seem to work just fine for me too and they are priced just right.

LoL.. it I get a 180 I'd get the 240... perfecto also makes a few nice "stock" sizes that I was also looking at.

I second the 180 (72x24x24) especially if your debating between a 125 for lengh and a 120 for width......it would be the best of both worlds without being too big (240). I like the sounds of it soo much I might have to make that my next tank..............:rollface:

 

[NanoGurl]

lol... i would probably just get the 240 if I spent all the money on the 180. The advantage to the 125 is I can use the equipment I already have and don't have to worry about heat/mold issues as much. If I jump to the 180, then all that comes into play so I might as well get the 240

lol... you're not getting it... though you do make a good point... I could so get that 240 =) LoL

now theres some reef related material...

 

[NanoGurl]

Okay... so I was bored and surfing around on glasscages.com website and can get the 240g for about $1000 less through them. I've heard and read all the stories.

Do I sell out for $1000!?!?! LoL

 

[GSMguy]

do you care if you have 200g of salt water on your brand new floor?

 

[NanoGurl]

hehehe yea I do :/

 

[GSMguy]

when desigining this 240 i would put energy savings first this tank has the opportunity to be set up a long time, you guys are young and you will own the house its going in the tank could be set up for 20 years...

40-100 dollar savings a month for 20 years will really add up, in fact its a retirement fund.

 

[sfilingeri]

Just do what makes you happy, and dont listen to people here because they'll tell you to sell your first child for a bigger tank.

i agree using logic is just silly we should all quit our jobs and do what feels good
