Hiker's 75g Upgrade

[mennazeher04]

Hey hiker couple questions about ur system if you dont mind. What kind of lights are you using? Is there anything special that you're doing to keep SPS? The reason Im asking is because I would like to start getting into SPS. I have a little frag of Montipora Capricornis right now but its all still new to me. How deep is your tank? By the way your tank looks awesome now, its going to look even better when you get that other rock in there too.

Very awesome Dave!

It doesn't look like much rocks.Was that always your intentions?

That's only the rock that was in my 29g tank. Its 56lbs. I have another 70lbs+ in a QT for an algae blackout kill. I'll have it all in there in another 2 weeks.

Well crap, I have no idea how I missed the pics that included the FTS for me :question:. But I like it. That is really going to be an amazing looking tank when you get those other rocks in Dave. And I especially love the fact that you're as much a frag whore as me, LMAO. Great looking stuff. You're gonna love that Red Planet, I know I really dig mine.
Great job my friend. :Cheers:

did you say you ordered rocks from macrorocks?

I didn't order from Marcorocks. I think the LR I bought with the tank came from there.

I'm using 8x54W T5's. They're from fish need it;lights; food;Sponge . The only thing special I do to keep SPS is dose Alk, Calc, and Mag. I did a lot of research and asked lots of questions.

Aint nothing wrong with that. You can come take a seat by me in the frag whore section, lol.

 

[ccCapt]

Your gonna need a bigger boat!

....and I thought I was bad. I only have 27 SPS corals in my tank and I'm out of room. :Cheers:


The rock you bought from Kathy was all dry Marco rock with a few lbs of live rock.

 

[Hiker4twenty]

I figure I'll be ok for a good year or so then I'll have a reason to upgrade to a larger tank.
