75 gallon SPS upgrade

[CasaReefer]

As long as you tell mine I can do a built in with a fish room!

I am all in... Then when they both kick us to the curb... you and I can buy a LFS in Florida and teach them both a lesson....

Deal! Gonna be tough competing with WWC though.

Bought a kessil H380 for my fuge to upgrade from the H80 that I have. It's growing cheato fine but my nitrates and phosphates are still high. Hoping the upgrade will help combat my wife's desire to have 2" wide fish ;Hilarious

The list doesn't end, man. Once you get your first few frags in there... it's so.. it's so good! You'll end up with 100+. I say 108 at least. Heard it here first!

I know, I'm purposely trying to hold off and be choosy because of space, and because I dont want to do too much too fast.
The sourced ones are for sure after I get a tester

IMO, don't add birdnest or stylo unless you realllllllllllllllllyyyyyyy like them, same with encrusting montis too. I have a green birdsnest just because I wanted to test the waters on my reboot, and it just takes up space. But people point that out first as it's nuclear green, so I just keep it.... for now.

 

[MrWheelock]

I really like the JF enchanted forest. The montis will be on the bottom on travertine strategically kept away from the rockscape (also not doing any caps) and the birdsnest will be kept low in a easy to reach spot for frequent fragging.

 

[MrWheelock]

Hrmmmm dangit now im not sure. What do you suggest as a tester? Maybe whatever it is just keep it on a rack?

Merry Christmas R2R family and friends.

So I did a thing! Ordered a custom tank from Fiji Cube to set up right next to my main display.

This tank will be mostly softies, and an anemone for the clowns. It will be plumbed into the same sump and sit atop my controller cabinet I'm going to set up.

 

[count krunk]

Going to use live rock or dry rock in it?

 

[MrWheelock]

I have a bunch of branch rock, and some other rocks in a tote cycling. They have been in there for a few months now.
Plan is remove the big pukani piece from the left of the 75 and do a branch structure there. Some of the old pukani will go in the sump. The remainder of that and other rock will go in the new fiji cube.
So cycled dry rock that has been seeded with pond matrix from the 75.

 

[count krunk]

Good idea. Putting in fresh dry rock would give that tank quite the stylish algae barn look
