I got a 75 gal reef ready spilling into a 15x24 trickle sump thats filled with roch fragments and sand. 2 pumps. 1 for return the other running a 30" Nautelis(sp) skimmer outside the sump. Lighting is 4 130watt compact f.. with moon leds ( i think its an Orbit). Water is R/O. Heater is a 300wt. Jager in the overflow. 2 powerheads in tank.
I just set the tank up so im still on the die of /cure process. I got 180lbs of Live Sand and about 130 lbs of Live Rock. Will be looking for more cured rock after christmas.
I got my rock of ebay and am pretty happy. Looks very interisting and I got some pretty large pieces, just not cured. It even has some hard corals on it and sea matt(i think). My daughter and I had a fun time picking most of the buggers (clams,sponges and whatever else I could find) off that stinky stuf. 2 weeks later with alot of skim and were smelling much better. :o
This tank reminds me soo much of my trip to Mexico where most of my time was spent in the Caribean with my mask on snorkeling in the surf. Swimming around in 2ft. of water looking at all the stuf i had never seen before. My wife likes to collect shells and found a few that still had crabs in them and she got a pinch to say LET ME GO..HEHE..I thought it was so cool to be swimming ,look over my sholder to see a school of what looked like huge (24")fresh water angels checking me out to see what I was doing. Fun Times.
