75g build

I've finally decided to build my first "big" reef tank. I've wanted to do a larger system for a long time, and I want to do it right the first time instead of fixing things over and over. This thread is going to be my build journal from start to finish. I'll be posting current equipment choices...

I wanna make like a journal type post to document things for a tank I plan on starting when I move, currently I don’t have much besides the tank itself and a gyre 3k pump. My budgets around 3000 dollars. Looking into lighting rn and a sump setup if anyone has reccomendations. I’m kinda averse to...

Hello all, I am in the process of setting up a 75g mixed reef tank. I am currently overwhelmed with all of the options for lighting. I have narrowed it down to Smatfarm, Viparspectra, or Hypargero. My question would be regarding wattage. Would 2x 100W SF or HG be sufficient for LPS, nems, and...

I finally got my 75g tank up and running. This is my second salt tank (first was a small 10g with two snowflake clowns). I have one clown left (the smaller one jumped out a couple weeks ago) and Im hoping to find him another partner and tank mates. I have 60 lbs of caribsea life rock on egg...

I'm *finally* upgrading to a single large tank which I'm going to condense 6 other tanks/3 separate systems into (2x 20L, 1x 10g, 1x 40B, 1x 27 gal plastic tub) because so many separate systems sucks to maintain (as evidenced by the hellish algae-ball in one of the 20Ls -_-') It's not going to...

I have a bucket of Marco mortar and not afraid to use it! Actually not true at all and terrified! I have a newly setup 75G IM int all plumbed and ready to go. Tonga branch and pukani acid washed and soaked in bleach for a week. Done. Ready to aquascape for primarily SPS dominate tank but will...

Hello fellow reefers! Welcome to my first ever thread on R2R! I am a high school student in Idaho, and I have worked, or I guess I should say learned, at a LFS here called Fish Aquariums and Stuff for 2 years now! I have owned 2 reefs in the last 3 years, my previous being a 24 gallon in one...

Hello, Finally posting a build thread after I upgraded from a 40G a few weeks ago. Here is my setup : NUVO INT 75G Bashsea 30" signature sump Bubble Magus Curve 7 2 MP40s 1 Kessil A360 and 1 360x Reef Octopus Vario 2. Trying to minimize maintenance so setting it up similar to most LFS which is...

Well, he we go with my 75g upgrade. This build will take some time to finish because involve removing a shower and a wall to be able to work on the stand. I have a closet behind the 40g and removing the shower and the wall will give me an small fish tank room. The most complicated part for me...

I have been waiting for my house to be finished, and my wife and I have been shacking up with the parents. I've been making fun of millennials still living with their parents and here we've been doing it for two months now. So, hopefully in the next two weeks, we'll be out. We have the house...

I have an older tank. Have five fish a 4 small corals. I am moving in about a month. This is an old tank and the rock smells like old algae. I was thinking about kinda starting over, but the live rock is very red and green coraline algae encrusted and there some stuff growing on it, both good...

I've always wanted to have a saltwater aquarium. But, as an active duty military member, I would move every few years and didn't want to attempt to move something this fragile as a reef system. So, I would setup smaller 20g freshwater aquariums...and typically give them away to people whenever...

My 75g setup with live sand and dry rock. Cycling now.
