that is a big step up in tank volume,.lol... post some pictures and updates, looking great.

I can't wait to see more pics! for me a tank always wins over a TV because in a tank there's always a good show to watch

So it has only been way too long since i have been on here but i finally have the ability to take pictures.

long time no talk bud... excellent photo, cant wait to see the base rock covered in purple im almost done with my 75s cycle... right now its just sand and a piece of rock but ive got to move over the rock from the smaller tank once the cycle is done... I dont want to recure rock. I still have to hook the camera up to the pc to show you guys the final stained and completed stand and the tanks plumbing and sump and all that jazz, i really outdid myself on the new tank... I got a skimmer rated for 300g, 2x 850gph hydor koralias, a maxijet 900 with the mod, a 30g sump, 90lbs of rock, 6x t5s, my own diy LED light bar, quietone 5000.... i have alot left to do as far as dismantling the 55 and moving stuff over piece by piece but atleast the cycle should be done in the next week, its a bit faster with some rock from an existing tank and a wringed out piece of filter media to get the thing kicked off...

again phil amazing pic, keep postin! look forward to seeing some more shots.

Looking good Phil. Do you plan to drill your rocks to make it easy to peg the corals?

No i dont plan on doing anything like that anytime soon.

TANK UPDATE:
Tank got thrown on back burner for awhile there. My negligence lost me about 60% of my zoa's. :'(
Just recently cleaned my big powerhead now my clowns like to swim into it and get shot across the tank.
I just discovered the other day that my dkh was super low(5), I began doseing and somehow over shot it and now it is through the roof (17!!!!)
BUT on a good note no one lost there life, my chalice is getting really great growth and i now have Nuclear Green Zoa's spreading on my rock.

So i lost this thread for the longest time! I think its about time for an update. The tank has gone to hell and back with me since the last update! I believe i found the culpret a few days ago, my heater has been unplugged for idk how long. kinda makes sense when the crash was in the colder months right after i moved out and had to leave the tank. but since then we have made a full recovery. I had to do a little creative thinking the other day when I had a light fixture die on me. Guess its time to upgrade!!! Seems like we are always just looking for a reason to upgrade.

Here is the new aquascape since the fixture went out. I had to move everything to one side. but now i really like the look so i can see another 40+ lbs of LR in my future
Sorry about the picture quality. iPhones don't make good cameras when it comes to aquariums with bright lights.


I also added an entire new clean up crew. i noticed that since i moved my cleaning crew seemed to slowly disappear. so no i have nice peppermint shrimp and astraia snails all over the place. i want to get a lot more blue legged hermits but i dont have many empty shells for them to use and i cant seem to find where to buy them anywhere around here.
