Tanks
#1 3/4 inch rimless 75
#2 Cad Lights 34 AIO
#3&4 In the future a nuvo 20 or 10 for qt of coral and observation of fish (or breeding rooms) since clowns like to get down

So to start I've been on and off again in the reefing hobby over the last few years and this time no matter what obstacle life throws at me my passion for reefing will not fade
The 75 is still in the planning and put together phase how ever

The Game plan for the 75 is to do a premium clown harem with 13-15 different morphs and 8 or 9 different bubble tip nems

Ill probably need help determining the best skimmer for a heavy load I plan on heavy feedings to keep aggression down

As far as wave makers go I have 2 out of the 3 current power heads 1 small one (660gph) to go smack dab on the middle overflow and 2 of the 1050's one for each end of the tank

I'm open to suggestions on return pumps I was looking at the current loop since I picked up the wave maker the only drawback I can see is the lack of feed mode the return just dials back to 30% also considering a jebao dct 6500 I'm just noit to sure if the motors are trust worthy

I'm sure there's a lot I'm over looking or forgetting to mention such as lights reactors controllers but I'm not at that step yet


Any advice or recommendations are appreciated
 
75 gallon Tank is prettyflea just wiped it down up once wet I'm sure the water marks will disappear or I could just clean it with a little vinegar or barkeepers if it's stubborn stains i havent pulled the trigger on a sump yet I'm still deciding on the route to take I'm debating between 2 red sea reefer 250 sumps and drilling both to connect them and using the ato in one section as a refugium or using a red sea 525xl sump
AND I've thrown in a pic of my cad lights 34 it's got like 65 pounds of rock the middle back chamber is loaded with rubble and it's currently holding 5 of the 13-15 clowns I intend on housing In the 75 (2 :divinci clowns b 1:frostbite 2:black ice) [ones a bit yellow] n no more clowns until the 75 is up n wet

Slowly but surely making progress laid some egg crate down an filled the little cubes with sand I've started soaking my dry rock in a bucket with a piece of live rock saltwater with a piece of shrimp with hopes of beneficial bacteria colonizing the rock
