Crab's 75 Gallon Reef/Dragon/Snake Tank Car Repair Thread

[Captain Quint]

I haven't decided yet

I know I'm going to sell my mh/t5 fixture as it's not going to work on a 4 foot tank. But idk if I want to do another mh/t5 or if I'm going to do led/t5

LOL on the nail-biting.

Congrats on upsizing and upgrading man.

Congrats, looking forward to following along. This is going to be fun.

Aaaaahhhh! Now that trip to Indiana is making sense. Payback is a ........five hour ride to the frozen tundra of Wisconsin. I do hope you're getting that Ford Fella and Bituminous Boy to return the favor!!!

Looking good Crabs; I'll be following for sure. Although I would have waited until I had a house picked out. Never know, might just have a perfect spot that requires a slightly larger tank. Cough, cough, 180.

Lol! I doubt I'll get @HotRocks and @4FordFamily to come up here. Way to cold. It was funny, I woke up one morning at Jasons house, and he's like "Bro its cold out put on alot of cloths" (it was like 19 degrees or something like that) So I pulled up my phone and showed him the temperature back home.... 20 degrees below 0! I said 19 degrees is shorts and t-shirt weather for me!

Congratulations @Crabs Mcjones on your 75g upgrade. I will be following. I'm also upgrading to a 75g in-wall. My local LFS offer me a 90g with all plumbing for $300. The only thing I don't like is that is too tall. I probably will get the Eshopps Eclipse L cus I don't think the S will work on the 75g and using the 40g for a sump or getting a new sump.

Congratulations on the green light dude!

I’m mom, my wife doesn’t really care for the kids due to her opposite work schedule that’s what anchors me. I will send her up there to help you bro! Maybe I could swing something though!

Congrats on the upgrade man!

Hey I'm am technically down the street from you and have some seeded Reefcleaner rock from my build last year that has been in a 32 gallon brute with heater and powerhead. Yours when the time comes if you want. LMK

That'd be fantastic! I was going to just get some dry rock from reefcleaners.org

My 75 has been up less than a year. I am looking at a 180 or bigger now.

Better yet, if you order more, I can throw it in the Brute and seed it for you until you are ready after your move.

I'll check tonight how much I actually have but I know I have room in the can for a bunch more.

180 is such a great size tank, I have one but it's freshwater. Once my wifes parrot fish are gone, I have a special plan for that 180.

 

[Why-Me]

I just ordered 80# from reef cleaners yesterday at 4pm, received an email an hour later stating it will go out tomorrow. I got email this morning from UPS it's being picked up today.
1 week from order to my door, free shipping.
Great, fast service.

I chose reef cleaners because of the no phosphate leaching claims.

Following. @Crabs Mcjones could we see a photo of the 40G breeder right now?

Nice. What fish are in there now?

 

[mch1984]

That's a beautiful tank.

I'll try and grab an updated picture over lunch break. The coral is bright orange with neon green/yellow tips. Very beautiful, this is an older picture before I got my nutrients and dosing under control. It's colored up ALOT since then.

Very nice! I'll have to try and find that one!
