    75 gallon reef

    I've come to find out that my tank has a leak around the top rim whenever I fill it up, so I'll be upgrading soon to no less then 100g.

    75 gallon reef

    It's prolly like 3/4 of the way in the sand now. I did some rearranging and I got a Stoney pollop(*?). It's pretty organized and structured right. I'll upload pics whenever I wake up since its 3:00 am here. But I want active fish but idk what kind.... My brother keeps telling me to get a...

    75 gallon reef

    I am. I'm going easy now. I'm gonna get a little more base rock and let it do it's thing. Then from there I'm gonna stock it with more lively fish. I jus dont know what to put in there... Im getting a yellow tang and I wanted to know if a dwarf lion is reef friendly...?

    It's cycled. I've tested water and it's all good. I used sand from my brothers old tank.

    This one has been set up for a week. Not the first salt I've set up. But it is MY first salt tank. And I'm wanting to go with coral.

    75 gallon reef

    Jus set up a 75 gallon tank. I have around 70# of LS and maybe 30-40# of LR. I'm going to get base rock tomorrow to add to it. I'm wanting to do a reef tank. Any stocking ideas..?

    Seeding base rock

    Have 15-20# of base rock and about 10# of live rock. I'm trying to seed everything for when I set up my tank. I have it all in a 20g tall tank and 1.024 gravity. At 82 degrees. Any suggestions for speeding up the process?

    Sump size?

    Okay. Off subject but my brother has a functioning 37g fowlr and he wants more sand but not aragonite. I have dry sand that I'll give him, is it safe to put it in there now or no...?

    Sump size?

    My plans on my sump is the water flow in with a bubble trap, the "filter" part with the sand and plants(idk what they're called) and then a bubble trap after that to the skimmer and return.. So should I chop the "filter" part in half to add a fuge?

    Sump size?

    I'm building a stand for it. Bc my brother is gonna use the current stand for a 95. And I don't trust the stand for all that weight... And what is a Refugium...

    Sump size?

    M about to start a 75 gallon reef, and I want to do a sump filter.. I have 2 useable skimmers(not sure what kind). What size sump should I do?
  17. CichlidFreak425

    I'm not so sure if I need a skimmer?

    Okay so I ran into this awesome deal I couldn't refuse. 20 gallon tall tank, t5 light, 25-30 points of LR, plumbing for the sump. 2 skimmers, and a bunch of other small stuff for 85$!!

    I'm not so sure if I need a skimmer?

    Okay thanks. And today I'm going to get some LR and some more sand I'm just gonna put the LR in a bucket with 1.022 water and let it do it's thing until I get my 75 up and rolling.

    I'm not so sure if I need a skimmer?

    Definitely will do. I'm planning on getting the ls lr and filters and everything before I set it up.

    The instant ocean one is 120.. I could possibly go up to 200..

    I'm not so sure if I need a skimmer?

    Okay so I'm doing a 75 instead of a 55. And instant ocean makes a skimmer.. It's in my price range but idk if i should get that or save a little more and get a good one from my LFS. And what's the difference between a hydrometer and a refractometer... ?

    I'm not so sure if I need a skimmer?

    What kind of nem do clowns like to swim in and mate in....? I've seen what it's called but can't remember the name to save my life... And also what are some good corals to do in a 75 and coral friendly fish..?

    I'm not so sure if I need a skimmer?

    The reason I'm throwing the filters out is Bc they're covered in calcium. The heater is some generic off brand and idk if I trust it.. The hoods are broke. The light is not good at all. I am gonna run 2 marine land LED lights on. Since the tank is separated at the top. And where would I get base...
