    5 Gal Bucket Sump
  2. Tank Specs
    Alright so I should lay out what we got instead of just harassing people. There's the 75 gallon, about 15g sump. Well, it's not really a sump I guess, just a fuge with a place to put the skimmer. The 75 has about 100 lbs of LR (about...), corner drilled to the under stand fuge. The fuge is...

    I spent most of the day working on my 75 gallon reef tank and then started taking pictures. I tried some things that were new for me, and learned a couple of lessons from them in the process. I am planning on adding a whole bunch of pictures to this thread so it will not be very friendly to...

    Originally, my plans were to buy the lights and filtration system off of the 120 setup to put on my 90G tank. I ended up buying the entire setup. This is a picture of the Dining Room they are sitting in. The 120 is on the right, the 90 is on the black stand. When I first got it, I intended to...

    Okay, I am starting to look for a light for my 40 gallon that is currently FOWLR. I would like to eventually add an anemone or two to the tank once it is fully established. I was looking at getting a Coralife Aqualight 150 watt clamp-on, but then found a deal over on RC. It is a 250 watt PFO...

    For about 2 years I've done everything in my power to keep all my parameters where they need to be. I've got the proper lighting. The best hang-on skimmer I could afford. I've done everything by the book. I have some zoas, shrooms, and yellow star polyps in my tank. I gave a couple of each...

    Hi, I'm Ron. I just recently got into this hobby. I had a 30g tank about 18 years ago but things have really changed. I thought I was starting the easy way- I bought an already established setup. But I'm not sure if that was best. Because now I'm a newb with a bunch of stuff to learn about lol...
