Build thread: 75 gallon reef tank

[NC2WA]

Since I am now keeping all my angels in my 375g tank, I decided to convert the 75 gallon QT tank to a reef tank.
This will feed my love for corals.

Most of the corals in the tank will be LPS but will have a mixture of SPS and clams.

Here is a picture of day 2. Still a calcium storm cloud which I hope will dissipate by Monday or Tuesday.

Where's the coral? Are you just growing rocks :wink:
Jk. Glad you're keeping the angels.

Bryon,

yeah, it would seem that way...this is a slow process..the only time I have to work on the tank is on the wkends...

Lights are Reef Radiance d155e model.

Blues are at 50% and whites are 30%, so around 15K.

Nice fish choices, Orange backs are beautiful

Brett,

thanks....I am pondering the idea of adding purple queen anthias to the tank for more color and movement.

Nice build Kirk. Is this tank tied in with the big one or is it stand alone?

 

[NC2WA]

Eric,

it is separate, but going to all the monitoring tied into the Apex that is attached to the main tank.
