Just Got back from Sout Korea,, and this is 박수닝's 75 Gallon Reef tank ; D

Well... Where do I start...

First let me tell you where I did start.. :D

I started 2 years ago in a 2.5 gallon reef tank. From there I moved into a 28 gallon bowfront. Then came the 55 and there went the 55.. Now my 75 Gallon tank has been moved oht of my room and into the Kitchen area where it can be viewed easier. :)

EXTRA DETAILS:::::::

The tanks been doing great!! I feed Reef Oceanic eggs and Oyster feast to the corals once a day. Along with PE Mysis for the Euphilias, Acans, Blastos and Scolymia..

The fish love the New Life Spectrum pellets along with chopped squid and PE Mysis.

My Mandarin Loves his PODS. I dose the tank once a month with Tiggerpods just in case..

It seems to be that everything is thriving and rapidly growing. Therefore I will be Moving into my 120 so everyone has some more room. ((( most likely by the end of this month)))

can i ask you why you have a yellow tang, blue hippo and a trigger in a 75? surely if you can keep the coral looking that good, you know what the fish needs' are also......
 
Well since I know I'm wrong. I know if I say something like "I'm upgrading to 120 all is well" it'd be a lie....

Soooo..

The reason. I love all of them... is that a good enough reason.. No.
But my friend next door has a big reef tank and told me he would take them off my hands once they get a little bigger. Maybe 1/2 an inch more, (or 1 more month).

But I will not be buying either of the 3 again because as you said..

I've kept the corals looking nice. So surely I'm smart enough to know the fishes needs"
 
i wasn't trying to be as bland as that, and i do know how it feels having a fish that needs requirements that you don't have funds for, after purchasing it and growing attached. i love the way your tank looks, btw, but surely you will not keep them for too much longer? it just will not turn out well in a 4 footer and you need to think of the fish and coral before yourself brother. what size tank does your friend have that you could bring them to? i would look into a yellow eye kole tang, they are beautiful. i will be adding one to my 75 reef when its fully running
 
Oh no I know! Haha I know that messages don't carry the same understanding as talking in person. We're good :)
And yes Ive had the tangs and trigger for a year and I am realising their needs are more then my funds.
My friend had a 500 gallon custom built tank. (He is how I got interested in reefing)

I'm 17 years old and the money isn't grwat at this age :D
 
Nice tank! I love the kessil lighting, I have one myself over my 20 gallon nano!
 
Put some fish in the fuge too. I've seen people split tanks up with dividers and have the edges be the fuge. Just a thought.
 
Any suggestions on corals I should get?? How about some orange colors?? I have many greens and very few blues or oranges. :) ???

The torch would be a bit tricky wouldn't it.. acans is a great idea! :) that might be my next purchase..

My bubble anem. died rece tly and my clown has started hosting the hammer.. I think ill get him another RBTA before he annoys my hammer death haha... is it okay for the hammer to host the clown?? I guesa there cant be the same relationship as with the anem....
