My wife and I had been talking for a while about getting either a 75 or a 90 to upgrade our 55 gallon reef. We went in to the LFS with the intention of buying a rock with cabbage leather on it (far right in the pic below) and saw a 75 with stand on sale. We couldn't walk away from the deal, so now I have a 75 cycling with some dirty water from a WC lol.
The current concept is to let the 75 cycle (hoping it only takes about 2 weeks), then transfer the 55 to it. We have a 29 gal FW tank, and we'll be moving that over to the 55 after a similar cycle and acclimation process. We haven't decided what to do with the 29 yet.
I'm currently running a T5 fixture on my 55, with a Corallife skimmer and a Hydor powerhead. Skimmer should be sufficient size, I recall it being rated to 90 gal, and I bought a heater. Any suggestions for equipment for the 75?
Any ideas for what to do with the 29? Haven't decided if we want to run SW or FW yet.
