Well I went from a 45 high to a 40 breeder now to a 75 gallon, in 2 weeks I am going to a 75 gallon tank. The tank is drilled with the return in the middle and a nice overflow box from glass cages.
My plan is this I am going to buy esv salt and have my levels on the spot so when adding the coral into the new tank I will not have to worrie about cal, alk, and mag. I am using all my rock and I also have another 40 pounds being seeded in the sumps. I have drilled out some rocks and added sprinkler piping through them for support, and also twist ties (non metal insides).
I am going 60 pounds of sand and 10 pounds of my sand from the 40.
Lighting:
I am going with a teck5 housing Icecap 660 ballest that will run the day bulbs and the normal ballest for the dusk/dawn combo. The light has 6 fans with drilled out holes much like the ati fixture. It is a 8 bulb combo of all Kz bulbs.
The refelectors are aqua tinic 98% reflection rate.
Coral:
I have already bored out holes in the rocks for frag plugs to sit. I have added some frags to pices of rock already.
Worries:
I am tense I am going to loose a fish or the xenia, biggest of all the sps.
Well I have pictures of the 40 that are going up and the coral I have.
I am starting this thread for many reasons to keep track of growth through pictures and levles in my tank. I will be up dating this thread as the progress moves along.
Thank you for looking.
