Corey's 75 Gallon

[Riddler05]

History:
I started keeping saltwater aquariums about 2 years ago and quickly became addicted. I started with a 29 gallon Biocube, but after a year I decided it was time to upgrade. I bought a used 90 gallon tank which I had for almost exactly a year. Unfortunately I moved last month and ended up downsizing to a 75 gallon tank, which is where I am currently at. I have made many mistakes along the way, the worst of which is constantly tinkering with my tank. I never gave my corals a chance to settle in and really grow; with my new build I am hoping to change this. My energy is going to be spent on keep Alk as stable as possible and I am planning on not moving or adding any more corals to the tank for a while.

Tank: 75 gallon

Here are a few pictures of the tank about a month after the move:

How much live rock in the tank? Is it your biological filtration source?

I have about 90 pounds. There is more rock in the sump.

I just wanted to post a few photos of some of my corals. Its not much to look at right now since they are (mostly) all frags but hopefully everything will stay healthy and grow out fast.









And my watchman goby & pistol shrimp:

Very nice setup

Just a quick update. I added a few more corals and a new rock structure to give the right side some height. There not great pictures but they give a good idea of the changes.

Just wanted to give a brief update on my progress. Everything seems to be doing pretty well and it seems like i am getting decent growth. I lost one of my clams but other then that everything is thriving. A few of my corals have really colored up nicely like my pink birds-nest but other corals are starting to lighten. Im worried that there is just not enough nutrients in the tank so I have started to use acropower. We will see how this works. If anybody has suggestions how how much and how often to dose that would be greatly appreciated. I have included a couple photos of the tank as well as three progress comparisons to see growth over the last month.
