75 Gallon Learning Experience


Tank: Standard size 75 Gallon

Lighting: (4) 48" VHO bulbs (2 Blue & 2 White) 110w each

Filtration:
Sump: Aqua Pro 75 by Sealife Systems.

Skimmer: MPS 75 by Pro Clear Aquatic Systems. I modified this a bit by removing the RIO 600 pump and adding a RIO 800 pump.

UV: Turbo Twist 3x (9 watts).

Power Heads: 1 Maxijet 1200 & 1 SEIO 620.

Note: Water enters the sump and goes through a micropad. Then passes over the Bio-Balls and I use Chemi Pure (elite). After this path, it goes through the mechanical filter (aka: the sponge). The water then enters the sump area where the skimmer is.

Live Rock: Approx 40 pounds.. Bought a little at a time when I had extra cash. Plan on adding another 30 pounds eventually.

Substrate: It's a mixture of sand, crushed coral with a little bits of crushed shell. Approx 1" - 1.5" deep throughout the tank. Shallow bed.

Critters (Non-Fish):
1 Bubble Tip Anemone
1 Frag of Anchor coral
1 Green Star Polyps
10 Pulsing Xenia (Rapidly growing and dividing constantly...)
1 Serpent Star Fish
10 Mexican Turbo Snails
3 Pyramid snails
???? hermit crabs. (Various types... I'd guess 40 total)
1 Sea Hare (bought to help control the hair algae)
1 Cleaner shrimp
1 Coral Banded shrimp
2 Pin cushion urchins

Critters (Fish):
1 Yellow Tang
1 Kole Tang (new addition to help with the hair algae)
1 Lawnmower Blenny
1 Tomato clown
1 "3 stripe" damsel (last of the original starter fish).

This is a picture of the tank and stand. Jan. 03, 2008 will make 1 year since it was set up. Yes, that's a zip lock bag floating in the tank. It's a sea hare being removed from the tank. Off to a friend's tank.
