HotRocks SPS Dominant 425XL. Yes, Another Tank...

[Crabs McJones]

It's going to have fish. Just not be out of control with fish. Now coral.... It may be out of control a little

Trust me buddy, it's already out of control ;Hilarious

 

[RichtheReefer21]

Wow. What a set up!

This will be a ride to remember!

Best of luck. I'll be here for the journey!

 

[RichtheReefer21]

I cant help but feel that this whole thing is somehow my fault

;Hilarious

Following along and living vicariously through your thread.... one day I’ll get there. Great start @HotRocks

My wife would have killed me if I bought another 6' tank. I have my red Sea 750 with all of my crazy fish.

Mind blown.

This is above BRS's category of "heavily stocked" just awesome sirm

Anything is possible. But yes it would be considered heavily stocked. There are some key factors to success. Running a WAY oversized skimmer, larger than normal water changes, and NO SPS. Hence the second tank lol.

I don't think I will move anyone. My 750 is pretty much where I want it and my fish get along. I also don't want to cover the new tank and I'm going barebottom. So no Wrasse

This tank will be about the coral, no crazy fish. Some anthias, chromis, and a few algae eaters, like a tang and rabbitfish. Have to have a couple clownfish for my daughters.

I haven't been using them, although my source does use the same wholesaler.

Talk @Crabs McJones into sharing his 75g stick selections. I cant contain the curiosity. I can pay... in cookies.

Update. Made some progress yesterday. Got my light fixture assembled and radions mounted. Installed a shelf on the dry side of the cabinet for the dosers. Installed a hinged door inside the cabinet for the controllers to be mounted to. Then behind the door I built a shelf and mounted the Apex energy bars etc.

Plumbing adapters should be here tomorrow so I can get the flow sensors installed. Hoping to get the light hung today.

 

[HotRocks]

Light is mounted and installed several of the power adapters today!
