Torombolo's 75 gall project

[torombolo]

Well, instead of creating to many threads asking question I will sumerize my build here, for all to see, coment, sugest and critique
I will be setting up an Oceanic 75 gallon tank, I will add some pics of the progress and list's of equipment and plans.

I would appretiate all your coments and sugestions since Im coming back from a 2-3 year out of the hobbie..
First pics are from my old 90 gallon that I never finished:

Hey Torombolo - Welcome back to the reefing scene!! First suggestion is to go to imageshack or photobucket and upload your pics on there!! They are coming out too small on your post!!

At the moment this is my equipmet list on hand:
Coralife SS 220 Skimmer
Gen X PCX-30 / Pump
Koralia # 4
Ligthing: T5 fixture 2 actinic 2 white) and 4 moonlights

Plans:
Coast to Coast inner over fllow ( waiting on the drill bit, and bulkheads to finish) this consis of 2 x 1" bulkheads, 2 x 1" 90elbows, 2 x strainers. Would 2 of this 1" be enough or do I need to do something like beanimals??

Sump / Fuge (Rubbermaid for now) 30 gallons
Stand/Canopy (This weekend goes to a shop to cover and add 2 side doors)

Yeah I tried looking at the pic and couldn't see much! :xd: From what I can see it looks to be a good start. My only suggestion is that you may want to take the rock off the sides.. it's a nightmare to scrape the sides of the tank with them on it. What are the tank's other specs?

Thanks, opening an imageshak account right now. Those pics are from my old 90 gallon FOWLR that I never actually finished had to take apart a few years back.

*** How do I add pics from imageshack???

Use the image details on the particular picture you want to post...right click and select properties...copy the url and then when posting use the insert image icon. Click tab "From URL" paste the link and uncheck the box "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" and post! Sounds like a lot but once you get it down its second hand nature.

The properties of the link is of the edit_preview area...you are close but you need to get to the viewing part of the picture and the repeat what you did!!

Also it is very important to uncheck the box "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" before you insert the image!
