Just upgraded my tank from a 55 to a 75. It was quite the adventure. Thankfully Boxfish came to the rescue with an extra pair of hands and the calm attitude needed and we were able to knock it out in a few short hours. Thanks a lot Vinny. I appreciate the help. We're practically pros at this now.
Also modified my original useless stand to house a sump.
It was quite the adventure. Will post more pics as I finish the aquascaping

Thank you. I as well as the fish are much happierwith the bigger tank. From start to finish it took about 6 hours including a few short breaks. Of course we picked the hottest day of the week todo the swap.

Yes I will be adding more love rock. I'm being picky right now on which pieces I want and if they have any type of coral on them mostly zoas, palys and mushrooms for now.

I've always had a bio wheel on my tank. It's just a little bit more filtration and I've had great success with it. In this case it's just being used to seed the tank and sump with the beneficial bacteria that's grown on it and then it's coming off. Probably another week or two. It's not my main form of filtration.

Thats what i was wondering. On the other side is that a hang on overflow box?


Anytime Lou. Couple of days and the tank will clear up, then we gotta get those lights hung:)


Hey man. Thank you again for all the help. Next well build a couple of canopies for the tanks.

Yes that is an overflow. Goes to a wet dry filter in the stand for now. Going to be building myself a sump
