Erin O's 75G Build

Scratch08 · Apr 28, 2020

I have 3 good sized pieces of marco dry rock, probably 20lbs... I just got green light from @JoshH that @Erin O is more than welcome to have.

Heck yeah! We all need a Corona distraction!

And after I install my new sump, I could throw a somatic 60 in as well... I love the sump, but I need the extra gallons my new one can take.

I need sand, rock, powerhead, thermometer. I have a heater that I used when the tank was FW (Aqueon Pro Submersible). Do I need to change it? I have OR lights from @DownSouthBandit. I was going to use my SunSun 304B canister filter. Will I need a skimmer with this size of tank?

You can have my Hanna test kits. I never use them. 100W heater new. I could send one of my spare 1k gyres are well.

Three rocks on the left, I might even "find" some other stuff too, I'll go through my stuff tomorrow after work.

Insert toes here ^^^ ;Hilarious

Ugh, I could use one of those gyres myself, jealous again.

Sump, 75g RR, Return pump.... heck, that sounds like a tank in business.

The only thing I would recommend is buy new sand. Do not need live sand. Just regular dry and rinse.

StatelineReefer · Apr 28, 2020

Definitely buy new sand. I agree. Old sand is.... problematic.

National "Pay It Forward" Reefing convention. Didn't you get the memo?

Petco had 20lb bags of sand (live) for around $16 this past weekend, chewy dot com had reef crystals on sale for cheap, 200 gal box was $35. I'll check the sites again in a minute

I gave most of my leftover rock away already, but I have some rock for seeding in my back chambers I could offer. If we all sent you 2-5 pounds of live rock you could have some pretty sweet biodiversity.

I'm headed to my LFS tomorrow to borrow their PAR meter, haven't tested the new lights yet... when I do I'll see if they want to donate a bucket of TM classic or reef.

I've got a chunk that I just broke. Possible 1/2 pound
