a lot of new changes for me, couldn't stand not having more room for livestock in the 30G so I broke out my 75G tank so I can run my big skimmer and sump...pics to come soonReef Octopus NWB150 skimmer, Tunze ATO, 6 bulb t5 fixture with ATI bulbs, dual BRS reactor, 500GPH return pump, 4 stage RODI2 Picasso clowns, cardinal fish, golden Sailfin Blenny

LPS coral and softies

New pictures are up of the 75G...took all day Sunday to move but went very smooth

AnthonyTheNewbie · Nov 18, 2013

Looks very nice :)

Marinne13 · Nov 18, 2013

Was worried about the move to T5 lighting but all the corals are responding well...only running the actinics for now but will start with a 3 hour day period tomorrow

All fish ate and skimmer is rocking, finally my pH is stable with the sump being alluminated all day, everything is looking awesome

Okay I need some fish options for the 75G...really really want a CB angel but I love my zoas lol

ErinCahir · Nov 18, 2013

The only dwarf angel I ever had an issue with was a lemonpeel... and he only ate my SPS. It varies fish to fish, though.

What about a bristletooth tang? Like a Tomini (I loved my tomini...)

Marinne13 · Nov 18, 2013

I am just worried about ich...I dont have a QT tank

ErinCahir · Nov 18, 2013

I never QT'ed. Just keep them fed and stress free. And make sure they're healthy when you buy them... don't "rescue" anyone.

Marinne13 · Nov 18, 2013

I would have to order one...my LFS's are pretty bad and have had huge ich outbreaks recently

ErinCahir · Nov 19, 2013

I've had really good luck with liveaquaria

Marinne13 · Nov 19, 2013

me as well, might have to check out DD

Marinne13 · Nov 19, 2013

So I had to switch to T5's when going to the 75G as I had the aquaticlife 6 bulb with lunars that fit it perfectly...I am slowly acclimating my corals to the light by only running all 6 bulbs for 4 hours a day but my hammer seems pissed off for some reason?? maybe the move? it was open the first day and now it seems mad (it is on the sand bed in low flow like it was in the 30G, 0 on nitrates/phosphates, calcium 440, DKH 8.6, PH 7.7, salinity 1.025)

I am running ATI bulbs that are only 1 month old, here is my bulb setup and tell me what you think...2 true actinic, 1 purple plus, 1 aquablue special and 2 coral plus

Hammer corals are so sensitive to movement and light, mine it's just like that.

Marinne13 · Nov 21, 2013

it is starting to open a little

Sakura2282 · Nov 21, 2013

Those are good news. :)

Great looking tank!

kbuser92 · Dec 4, 2013

I had really good luck with euphyllia and I'm actually hoping my LFS gets some in today with their order.

Marinne13 · Dec 4, 2013

my LFS sucks...he is letting his tanks go and has had a huge ich problem the last few months

lets just say I have bought nothing from him for a while

kbuser92 · Dec 4, 2013

Don't support it.

Marinne13 · Dec 4, 2013

I am going to say something to him...he is usually really good at taking care of his tanks but for some reason he just lost it

plus I hate when LFS only get in huge hippo tangs, triggers and such...get smaller fish for crying out loud
