Changes...
So firefighting is out as I haven't gotten any replies from anyone seeing as they are all out in the field... really wish I had known about it back in January. Oh well, just means my tank will be up and running that much faster. It's 2:40 a.m. and I can't seem to sleep so I thought I would re-list my updated equipment wish list to see what everyone thinks. Here goes nothing...
Lighting -IceCap 660 T5HO Retro Kit with SLR's -2 Aqua Blue bulbs, 2 aqua blue+ bulbs Filtration -26 lbs live rock -50-60 lbs DIY base rock -Carbon in sump Skimmer -ASM G2 or G3 if I can fit it under my stand Sump -20L -Compartment for skimmer, heater, pump for RDSB, small fuge, return area Circulation -Mag 9.5 or Mag 12 for return, run through a SCWD with a total of 4 locline outputs -Mag 9.5 running a closed loop with an additional 4 outputs Livestock -False Percula Clown, Yellow Tail Damsel, 3 Zebra Dartfish, Yellow Tang, Foxface Rabbitfish, Mandarin Dragonet after 6 months, Tridacana Deresa, 2 Cleaner Shrimp, 20 Trochus Snails, 20 Nassarius Snails Corals -GSP, Hammer, pulsing xenia, green striped mushrooms to start, move towards a more SPS dominated system as the tank matures |
After three months im finally getting the ball rolling on setting up my 75gal. So far I've finished the sump and completed the drain line plumbing. I also purchased 30lbs of sugar sized aragonite, a skimmer, and filled the tank up with water. Below are some pics of what I've done so far.
Drain line ![]() Sump ![]() Full tank ![]() Skimmer ![]() Next week I'll be ordering the pumps for the return and closed loop. The week after that I plan on getting at least a small clean up crew and live rock. Lights will be the last addition before I start focusing on stocking the tank. Some things that have changed from my original plan include the pumps and the skimmer. I went with a PCI NW250 over an ASM as they are built much stronger and offer the same perfomance. The pumps will now be a OR 2500 for the return (650 gph) and OR 6500 (1700 gph). Also, I decided to use less rock in the tank, so I will probably have close to 60 lbs of true live rock and only a little base rock. |
cant wait to see it stocked but i bet your walet can!ha keep us updated

Yeah, lately it seems as soon as I get paid I'm broke again... but it will be worth it. The lights are the last really expensive part. After that it will just be a little every once in a while till I get the fish I want. Coral will be spendy, but Christmas is coming :)
