Todd's 75g tank to replace the current 46g bowfront

[twilliard]

Hi members of R2R!
Well it has started my 75g tank is comming to life
It has taken me a little while to get this going with such a busy schedule but I figured it was time.
Thank you R2R for the motivation!
Well here we go.. the tank

Sand was added yesterday after a long wait
This will share a common sump with my 46g bowfront for ease of rock and life transfer.
The 46g will be drained (it's leaking) and turned into a carnivorous plant terrarium
Saltwater is in the making now and will start filling it soon!

More to come!

Nice. Love my 75 gallon but mines coming down now for a 125 don't have time for 4 tanks. Hate a leaking tank. Have been there too

I would love my 125 back don't have room in this house.

Hey guys do you think the natural light will help grow algae?

I didnt have room for more tanks either until we decided to put a partition wall in the basement and I had the genius idea of putting my 75 in the wall

Hahaha you are the only person who would hope for more algae Congats on the forced upgrade! I love the idea of using the leaky tank as a terrarium!

Ya I don't get it..
I can not for the life of me to grow algae in the display. Actually thought about pulling the macros out of the refugium
I love carnivorous plants!

Half of us wish we had your issues haha We had some fly traps at work for a while, they were neat, and fun to feed crickets to lol.

Full of water now. Equipment is temporary as there is dinoflagellates in my sump.
What's your thought on the sand depth?

 

[twilliard]

In just a few days with some filtering it's ready for my rock from Tampa Bay saltwater ordering next week,

There better be pests in this rock!!



All the equipment will not be there once I get it flowing in my sump

Looking good. You crack me up, algae AND pests?!

 

[twilliard]

I love what people call pests! Working on the rock order now these rocks are supposed to have everything on them, shipped in water and I will absolutely love it!
Now when does algae grow!

 

[twilliard]

Here it is guys the 75g all up and running
The shrimp is making it a little cloudy but should clear up as the sand ages

Looking good! Any ideas for stocking? Other then algae and pests of course

Honestly not a clue. I haven't thought of stock for many years.
I have 2 blue chromis, a bleny and a goby don't know what other fish I can add as I am not a fish guy.
