Rimless 75g reef build. From the ground up!

Awesome so did yours overflow like crazy at first too? It's goo got water in last weekend and it's running and not flooding so good lol I got all the pics on photobucket so I'm about ready to post.
 
Haha yea man mine over flowed like a mother! Only time I have issues with it now is when I put in a brand new filter sock. I have to leave it unplugged for a day. Ones that have been washed a few times are good

Good to hear. I thought maybe I was doin something wrong. Or my water had something crazy goin on lol. Guess it just needs to build up a slime coating inside or something.

They say it's from the residuals and oils in the skimmer from the manufacturing. Takes time to get worked out of the skimmer. I really like it though. Super easy to clean the chamber
 
Here's my tank as of now

Ha thanks man. Idk if I'd say superb but I like the look. And good eye! I did change it a little. Not much. Trying to keep the aquascape natural and suttle. Let the corals do the showing off. And nice choice of light! What're you using currently? You buy two of them? I really enjoy my reef radiance lights

Yea I bought two I have no lights right now still just starting the cycle hopefully they won't be too long to get here. I wanted these because eventually gonna by an apex but as for now I can control them with my phone. How cool. So did you run Gfo to help with the hair algae or did it just run its course with clean up chaeto and water changes?

Actually I made some ro/di water and scrubbed it off about 90%. Cleanup crew keeps it under control now. That and I lowered my main lights to 11 hrs a day and my refugium lights to 20

No. Shamefully my tank was smooth sailing and I had added some turbo snails and a tiger conch. Checked all levels except my salinity. It was way high so I quickly did water changes. To many that ended up causing an algae bloom. I also washed my socks in the washer opposed to have washing except I forgot to add the bleach. So when I put the " what I thought was clean" sock in the sump the tank became foggy. Thankfully nothing has died. Just battling the clarity for the water. Other than that levels are good. How's your tank goin man? Hopefully better than mine
 
Well hate to hear the trouble. Hopefully it'll get back on track and smooth sailing. My tank has cycled got the lights hung and have a couple clowns in qt. the little one looks to have ick so tomar I'm gonna get some cuprimine and start treating. I have a build thread now. Good luck and keep us updated.
 
It is terrible to hear.
The Council, wash bags Karcher ....
Is it safe.
 
Hey bud! Man sorry for the late reply. I've been so busy. I'll have to post some pics here soon. Kinda slowed down to change some things with the tank I wasn't happy with. How's yours going?
 
Awesome how old is your tank now. I can't wait to see it again. Mine is doing good 4months in now have a couple clowns and some coral in there. Have ya gotcha any goodies for it lately?
