For some strange reason, your build really quenches my OCD. Fantastic job on... well... everything!

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?

Very nice man! My tank is about 7 months old as of now. I have a couple frags. Snails and a conch. Still no fish. I owe Uncle Sam $1,700 so gotta pay that off first lol. Other than that the tank is going smooth. Sock less also! Been tweaking with things to see the outcome

Nice build! I have always been partial to 75s, since that is what my first reef tank was - 17 years ago. Tagging along to watch this one mature...

OCD? Perfectionist? Failure? I've had my aquarium running for nearly 8 months. Thanks to fedex my live rock (nearly dead Rock) has been giving me issues since the beginning. I've had the longest cycling process known to man! Thankfully light is starting to show. The algae is under control and water is near crystal clear. I've also added a bio pellet reactor to help with the nitrates. (Day 3) I have a few corals, snails, conch and an over abundance of amphipods in my tank which is a positive! I haven't posted on here a while so this is my light at the end of the tunnel update!

Nice dude Hang in there. Everything is looking wonderful! Wish my refugiam and sump area still looked like yours. Shew mine has turned nasty. Noticed you have your skimmer lower than mine I have my output only half submerged.

JcStark87 · Mar 20, 2016

Haha thanks. I like to keep it nice and clean! I have my skimmer lower so it can pass into the refugium and give it some current. I just cut the pipe down to size.

Hey everyone, I know it’s been a few years since I’ve been on this forum. A lot has changed in the years. Unfortunately I no longer have the 75 gallon aquarium. It was very heart breaking to let it go. I was forced to sell it when I sold my home and bought a new one. I also now have a beautiful baby girl, my first child! She’s the light of my life. Also unfortunately my Parents got divorced, which has been challenging. It’s been a roller coaster of a year and I’ve lost track of making myself happy. Until a month ago. I purchased a 10 gallon nano. Beautiful fun little tank. I will start a new thread soon. Hope everyone is doing well
