My 75G Oceanic is Finally UP & Running10/24/09

[Wolverine57]

From 40 breeder-to-75GRR-to-90GRR-to-24G Aquapod-to-140G Oceanic-to-48G Frag tank, and now to a 75G Oceanic. Upgrading or Downgrading is alot of work! I think I'm done. The previous tank was upstair in the loft where my wife works, thought she could appreciate by giving an office atmosphere, but with our 8 month baby, Zoe...we need the room for my daughter to crawl around. Besides I miss having the tank in the Living room.

Setup consist of the following:
75G Oceanic (Starfire glass)
Previous Stand was a custom by woodman (member here)
Sump by Custom King
Return pump: Rio+ 3100
Lighting: 48" Tek T5 6 bulbs
Skimmer: BK mini 180
Vortech MP40
2 x koralia's (have them behind the rocks), not sure if I will use both.
Kalkwasser Mixer - MTC Pro-Lime
Reef Fantics Auto top-off

120 lbs of LR
70 lbs LS

I like your setup. Is that really 120lb of LR? I like how open it looks!

 

[dubs]

yo that clown trigger dont bother ne of ur coral i want to add one to my tank but i am a little afraid of getting bad one and it take my tank apart nice looking tank tho the rock work is really nice looking

 

[huffnpuffer]

great looking tank keep up the good work

 

[Wolverine57]

Keith, yes there about 120lb give or take...there is rock behind to support and the live rock are large & heavy pieces. I really wanted more of an opening in the center. But I really did not want to start drilling the LR and using epoxy. Being I wanted to get this setup done right away to avoid as much cycling as possible.

Dubs, as for the clown trigger, I've had him for a couple of months and knock on wood he has not bother any of my corals.
