RocketEngineer's 75g/125g Setup

[Tsteak]

Have you tried an emerald crab or two for the HA? I used to keep 2 in my 120 and they LOVED that stuff; they were literally eating it before they even landed when I first put them in. They kept it in check nicely for me; two is the most you'd want in a 125. They're cheap and fun to watch too...

Now that the crab problem seems to be solved, I decided to add another fish to the aquarium. Despite being in the store after corals, I brought this guy home.

Sleeper Goby:

This guy is the same length as my tang and as big around as the clowns. It seems to be settling in nicely. Being a sand sifter, it has caused the tank to be a little cloudy every now and again but that's not a big deal to me.

Here are some pictures of what I had actually gone to Pacific East Aquaculture for initially:

Pink Millepora:


Rose Tip Acro:


Purple Galaxea:


I also picked up two plating Montiporas and a small piece of ruffled montipora but didn't get any good pictures of those three yet.

And here are some pictures of the corals I've had for a while:
My coral garden:


Candy Cane:


"Strange" Acro:

I bought it thinking it would grow more like the birds nest and instead it's encrusted.

Leather:


It's really nice to come home and enjoy the tank.

Please see my thread in the DIY forum. This thread is about my personal tank. I will answer your questions there, not here.:sad2:

It does not look like there is a 2x4 under each corner of the tank. I want to make my stand bigger than the tank. It is a 65 gallon 36 x18 I want to make stand 2 foot by 4 foot so I can fit a sump under.

Hi RocketEngineer. Great tank(s) and great thread, thanks for all the documentation. Just wondering if you have a recent tank update?:beer:

I know this is an old post, but do you still have the pics of your stand design?
