My 75G FOWLR build thread. (woot)

[partypalooza5]

Woo hoo!

I got rock!

35lbs base rock and 10lbs LR. The tank seems pretty full already!

The guy at the LFS said they had uncured rock too, so I decided to get that instead of cured rock. (something to start the cycle with) I could have gotten a 700gph external pump for 50 bucks used but for some reason I forgot about it before we left . I wanted it to make a CL system with but oh well.
I'll post the pics when I get the rock arranged.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or feel violated ROFL!


There will be pics tonight hopefully, I was going to put my micron filter on there overnight and take pics tomorrow after school but you guys want to rush it xD

 

[partypalooza5]

You want pics?

Got em.

I even got two free buckets!

 

[partypalooza5]

I got a few coral skeletons too. They looked pretty neat.

Theres also a nice big one on top of the rock structrure. It probably looked amazing when it was alive.

 

[match55]

Omg pretty rocks!!!
Love them~~

mine suck, wanna work on it more haha, wish I have a bigger tank ToT

 

[partypalooza5]

The dude at the store wouldn't give me any deals so I got the best rock he had and the smaller pieces to get more for the money. I think they were worth it. But the 10lbs of live rock cost me like 70 bucks alone!! >_< uncured..

 

[InfernoST]

Looking good PP5. I'm glad you proved me wrong.

 

[Aquarium1]

Looks great.

 

[Flake]

wow. you paid way too much for that rock. That's nuts.

Looks great though. I pick out those skeletons too. I have a few in my tanks now.

 

[JPKeenan]

xD Told you I'd do it eventually!

wow that is one funny looking cat fish you have in the pics

 

[Zer0]

This is what we've been waiting for pp5. Nice pictures dude, and nice setup. It's coming along real nice i must say. Btw, is that your normal lighting? Or are just the actinics on..

 

[partypalooza5]

I was kind of stuck with buying it there for a rip off price, but eh I can't complain i got a few deals there so I guess the money equals out.

Next I'm gonna get a test kit from petsmart. (going to find a coupon first..)
Would it be beneficial to sprinkle some food in there to keep the cycle going?

 

[InfernoST]

I put three raw shrimp in my tank and let it do its thing, it's kind of like set it and forget it.
