So.. I did not find this place until after my tank was done and somewhat stocked. I didn't feel the need to do a build thread once it was several months old and running fine.
I was recently gifted a second 75 gallon tank and stand. (And all of the equipment that she had with it, most will not be reused)
So starts a build thread... I'm going to also post random pics of my first tank on here just for the heck of it. Also, I have been working on my own circuit board for the reef-pi. One is complete and working, however with some minor issues. I'll be sending off to the PCB manufacturer a new design shortly that fixes the errors in the first design and should be "final". I'll post some information here about that process also.
Anyhow, here is the start....
It's just your basic Petsmart purchased Marineland 75 gallon aquarium combo. (stand is in the garage) Just finished cleaning it. Will be moving it inside tomorrow...
This tank is going to be an anemone specific tank. If we are able to get one, I want to put a Haddon's Carpet Anemone (Metallic Green) in the tank in the center, with two "rock islands" on either side with rose bubble tips. Along with that a harem of clowns. I got these 4 little guys at the LFS yesterday and had to rescue them. They were in with a much large ocellaris. Two of them show signs of being bullied, fins are in bad shape. Hopefully they will recover. The other two are in great shape. Everyone seems to be in otherwise good health. Eating like pigs.
Currently they are about 1/2 inch long. Tiny little guys. I did some searching and believe them to be Gold Stripe Maroon. I'd like to add a couple more if I can find them in a size to match these.
They are going to be staying in the QT tank until the main DT is setup, cycled and carpet nem in place.
So this should be fun to mark the progress of this new tank.
