Some Pictures of Our 75 gal Aquarium

[washingtond]

Here are a few pictures from our 75 gal aquarium. It is devoted to LPS and Soft Corals and has been setup for just over 6 years now.

This is a Brain that was the first coral we purchased over 6 years ago.

Great tank.

I love tanks where you can't see any live rock anymore. Awesome!

 

[CedarReefer]

What type of lights are you running?

 

[washingtond]

I am using the Current Power Compacts 6700K/10,00K & Actinic 03/7100K for nine hours a day with moon lights for 5 hours each night.

That's fantastic! Put a sock in it all you light hogs! :lol:

very very nice tank!!!!

Thanks for the info on the lights. I have PC's on my 75 and from all the info I was reading, it didn't sound like I was able to keep much.

 

[washingtond]

I feel that I can put just about any LPS or Soft Coral into this tank with the existing lighting without any problems. Have not tried any SPS and don’t really plan too. Would like to add more Zoo’s to this tank at some point.

Stunning tank. Great work. Can we get more info in regards to husbandry (e.g. water flow, carbon, dosing, etc.)?

 

[washingtond]

Here is some tank info:

The tank is connected to a 25 gal Refugium with caulerpa algae with Miracle Mud and a Little Giant pump that returns the water back into the tank. Also have 3 MaxJet1200 pump connected to Red Sea Wavemaker Pro for circulation inside the tank. To maintain the calcium and Alk I drip kalkwasser 24/7 and in addition I add EVS B-Ionic two part Calcium/Alk everyday. Also add EVS- B-Ionic magnesium once a week or when test indicates that it needs some. I don’t use carbon in the tank and use an AquaC Remora skimmer hung on the back of the tank. I do a 15 gal water change every two weeks and currently using Red Sea Pro salt after switching from RC. Also use a JBJ Auto Top Off system connected to a MJ1200 pump in a 25 gal storage tank with RO/DI water.

The water parameters are:

8.09/8.20 PH (night/day)
9.0 ` KH
420 CA
1350 MG
1.025 SP

Would like to add a larger Refugium and a Calcium Reactor in the future.

Excellent pics nice tank!
To CedarReefer,
I too have a 75g mixed reef that I really enjoy. I've got mine under 240watts of normal output fluorescent lighting, and I'm keeping ~30 different species of coral.

You guys w/ PC and the NOs how often are you replacing your lamps ?

 

[washingtond]

I change the PC's every nine months.
