Hello Reefers!!!
This is my 75 gallon "Hopefully" mixed Reef at some point Build.
Backstory used to have a 90 gallon FOWLR about 15 maybe more years ago, now I have a 29 running for almost a year now and want to move everything to the 75 when ready, I will seed the 75 with sand and rock from the 29 as well as adding Turbos start to help.
Here is a list of my current equipment on this build:
-Aqueon 75 Gallon drilled
-Aqueon 40 gallon Sump
-Jebao DCP-6500
-Jebao PP8
-Jebao SCP-70M
-Phosban Reactor 150
-Eshopps S-120 Skimmer

Salt used to start Instant Ocean
Will let you all know how it goes.

Any suggestions are more than welcome!! Thanks ina dvance
