My 75 Gallon Attempt

[TankedNTn]

These are a few current shots of my 75. Not the best lights on it yet. I'm stuck with a 48" Coralife Compact Fluorescent fixture with 65W 10,000 K Daylights and Actinics until I can find something better but affordable. The tanks only 2.5 months old but part of that was set up as a 55 until I decided I really needed more room in it...that took all of 3 weeks lol. I have no sump yet, as the tank wasn't drilled for any type of overflow, so I'm running a Eheim 2217 canister Filter for now along with 2 Koralia 1050 and 1 1400. I have a crappy CPR BakPak2 skimmer until my Reef Octopus BH1000 comes in the first of the week. I hope to get my first coral sometime soon.

Thanks, He loves to just sit and watch me where as my Clowns follow me every where I go and constantly beg for food. They seem to never be scared of anything I do to or in the tank.

I've got 30 more Lbs. of Florida Reef Rock from ReefCleaners that is soaking in a tub. Cant wait to add it to the display and get rid of the darker gray rock that is an eye sore to me. I'm pretty sure the other white rocks were full of phosphates and caused a nasty brownish hair like algae bloom all over them that I just now got rid of. Didn't want to go through that again so I decided to soak the new rock for a few weeks.

Chirs..it is nice to know there are other people in this area that I can draw knowledge from and possible help in case I ever have some type of emergency with the tank.

If you're asking what I took the pics with, it's an older Cannon EOS Rebel XS. Still learning how to use all those fancy settings on it.
