Hello all,

I'm finally back after a year or so... unfortunately I had to sell my home... which forced me to tear down my well missed 240g mixed reef tank....

My fiance and I moved into a nice new townhome... and we are finally ready to start up some reef tanks in my Mancave! Currently I have 2 full reef ready tanks... a 75g standard and a 93g Cube Rimless tank.

This thread is going to be a nice documentary of its life for the next couple years (for the 75g)!

I have already gotten the system plumbed as a herbie overflow. I will be using the common sump system with a 25 gallon long custom built sump... with a protein skimmer and refugium.

Thankfully the townhome renter is even letting me set up 1 tank.. let alone 2!.... They will not permit any tank bigger then my 93g cube...

Anywho, I look forward to providing a view at the birth of this tank and its life.
 
Hey everyone!

Updating on the 75g Reef tank! The system only took 3 days to do its mini cycle, since I used some established live rock and MB7. Of course I had a small diatom bloom, but after some manual removal and some fresh GFO in a phosban reactor, the problem is dying down.

Here are some pictures of the tank today.... I just fed some CORAL FRENZY... so everyone was super happy lol
