new 75g saltwater

First topic message reminder :

I downgraded to a smaller tank to get more room in my bedroom. So here it is.


It will look better once i redo my old lights of of my 120 and redo the canopy that goes to this tank.

I am thinking of using 2 mh and moonlights all built intoy canopy.

thats koo!
what do you have in their now?

Yellow tang. Chocolate chip star fish. Undulated trigger. The trigger and star fish r 4 sale.

how much you selling em for?

Asking 20 each. They are at least 5" each. The starfish was 20 when he was only 1/2 an inch

lol wow!!! how long have you had em!!
also what filtration system you gona yous for this future reef?

Want a job refuge with protein skimmed. I have had the starfish for over a year maybe longer. The trigger I have had for 9 months.

are you planning on going with a sump or wet-dry?
i know im askin a Sh!t load of Questions but i wann amake sure theirs some Sat Water talk goin on!!! lol
do you think the HOB fuge/skimmer will be enough for that 75g?

With all of the rock and water movement , it should be. I am thinking of building my own hon digest just to make sure.

what that is?

Stupid smart phone! Hob refuge is what it is suppose to say.

LOL

I figure it wouldn't be any harder then building a full fuge plus it would be the way I wanted it and not a store bought item.

Here is a new pic of the tank and the few inhabitants.

He is a little hard too see but the ubdulated trigger is under the coral right above the star fish.

pretty sexy!!!!! lol

Dead corals! Lol oh but wouldn't it be nice to have corals that big in the tank. The tang is about 4 3/4" may be 5"

lol still theyre corals! lol
it would be awsome to have corals that big in a tank!!!!!
think that tang neds a bigger place....hows your flow in that tank?

Tang was happier in the 120. Flow isn't to bad, I have a maxi jet powerhead in the middle to pull water from behind the lr, also have an aquaclear Hob filter with a spong and ceramic rings pulling from behind the lr, I have a wave maker attached to my return pump witch alternates between two return lines on opposing sides of the tank. (hob rated for a 50)

nice!!!
i read somwere that tangs can do pretty OK in 4ft tanks!! they just need REALLY good flow! but yours is pretty big!!(tang) lol
also its good that your pulling water from behind the LR!! dont want no nasty waste build-up!!!!

can you please explain to me how youhave your return pump as a wave maker??

also did you get ma PM?

My 120 was a 6ft tank. 72x18x22. My wave maker I got from fosterandsmithaquatics.com. they call it a switching current water director (scwd). It was the cheapest wave maker I could get at the time. When I go to a Hob fuge I want a wave maker that controls power heads.

how many return outlets do you have???
im interested in this so called (scwd) lol

2, one on each side of the tank. I also have a flow accelerator on each side.

what is the scwd exactly??
whats it look like and were does it go?? do you have a pic of 1??
also flow accelarator???
ive seen a cpl of em but dont know were they go??
inside the piping?
