Reefergirl's 75 Gal Upgrade

[NYreefNoob]

seeing you have livestock in there already when u do get more rock unless it i s live from someone's tank id let it cure for a good month to keep from having a cycle in tank and same with sand before adding any other fish. off to a good start though

thanks! I plan on doing that. I was a huge 20 gallon bucket that I am going to use.

You have a fuge/sump? Get that heater out of the main display. It will look much better.

Nice zoas BTW!

 

[ReeferGirl]

LOL I keep forgetting to move that thing. It's usually not in the front. I have never put it in the sump I will try that. I love zoas!!!

 

[BILBO913]

yeah those zoas are very pretty. keep the pics coming

 

[ReeferGirl]

Will do, took some of my new clown. Just have to resize the pictures

batt600 I completely forgot to take a pic of my sump, lol. my computer doesn't work and am having to go to my parents to upload pictures. But here is a FTS. And it's cloudy d/t dosing with Purple up. I am only using half doses since I don't want my calcium levels to get too high.

Nice try not to use the purple up to much your mag might get to high do you have a mag test kit?

 

[ReeferGirl]

No, I don't have a mag test kit. I think I have everything else but that one.....

Here is my new clown

he is so fast, I can't get a good picture of him.

excuse the bubbles, my protein skimmer went on the fritz tonight.

WHERE IS THE CLOWN FEEDING lol

 

[ReeferGirl]

I went to Tampa this weekend and got a few things. I went to this amazing store called Coral Corral. they had 12 - 600 gallon coral tanks jam packed of coral. They had a chalice in the DT that was worth $14K, it was crazy looking. anyway...pictures.

Bubble Coral - it's sitting in the pvc because it is on an akward shaped rock that won't stand up. So...until I get some sand it will stay in the pvc.

zoas of course b/c i ♥ them

new FTS, did some rearranging. I am getting some base rock (50+ lbs) from a friend, it has been sitting in a tub of water with a PH for months. I am getting it for free, yay!

I love these shrimp

another shot of the bubble

Thanks. I can't wait to get some more rock in there. Hopefully my friend calls me soon so I can go pick up that rock he is giving me.

He def loves to nip, the bigger one is sweet and kinda nuzzles my hand. She thinks I have food for her
