75 Gal Reef Build

[Khij159753]

Anytime! I can't wait to start my 90 gallon

 

[Dano.]

How long before you begin your build?

 

[Khij159753]

It cycled but I'm waiting for the nitrates to go down. I don't got extra money for the water changes right now lol. But once they're down, first thing is put the things from my 29 into the tank.

 

[Dano.]

That's kind of what I did, I have all but my Rose BTA out of my biocube already into my 75 (plus some new additions of course). Good luck with the nitrates it tool my tank about a week to rid them after my cycle.

 

[Khij159753]

Wow. My cycle finished with really really high nitrates cause I used, used water. Like 160+. but now they're like 60-80 and it's been a week and a half or something. Once all my base rock becomes live I should be golden haha. Until then I just keep changing my stocking list

It's good to know what you want to do with your tank. I have made that mistake many times... I'll be like I want one of those them then I realize that wouldn't work in the log run for me.

 

[Khij159753]

Haha yeah. I did all my research on stocking reef tanks before I even got into the hobby. So when I got a 90 naturally I wanteD all the fish I could have lol. I'll just have to wait till I get a 180 Gallon then try again

 

[Dano.]

Bigger is better when it comes to reef tanks

 

[Khij159753]

Yup that's for sure. Can't wait to get a foxface. That's gonna be my centerpiece.

 

[Dano.]

I think they are pretty cool myself!

 

[Dano.]

Are they venomous?

 

[Khij159753]

Yeah but they're really peaceful.

 

[Dano.]

That's cool

 

[Khij159753]

Yeah. they only use their poisons spines for defense against predators

 

[Dano.]

Note to self, if I get one make sure not to pet his back. Lol

 

[Khij159753]

Haha yeah. Gotta kinda watch out.

My green stars are really extending out now! It looks like they are staring to show some growth out on to other rocks.

Those things will spread like a weed in an established tank! Mine are over lol almost too much!

 

[Pizza101]

Tanks looking great!

 

[Dano.]

Thank you, I can wait until my acro and birds show some more growth.

 

[Dano.]

Birds neat that is ...
