75 gallon tank build

I have add three Albums to my profile with 20 + pics. enjoy!

ur starting to get a good collection of LPS!!

I tried to crop out all the aptashia. LOL I am getting ready to pull out all the coral and put in the Bat fish. I am wondering if i can leave the leathers? since one of them is hooked to a rock.

haha guaranteed he will eat the leather - especially if you dont want him to!!

Now, if you want him to, he prolly wont touch it

it could use a hair cut. LOL

haha well there you go - frag it off, and mount it to a smaller rock so you can move it when you need to, and let the bat take care of whatever is left over!! Master plan

I'll be more than happy to hold on to the leather for you!

Ok well it has been a few months sense I have given an up date. I had a cyno algae out break on my reef tank and have lost a few corals. The Cyno algae out break were caused by a power outage, I pump a bunch of air into the water to revive and keep my fish alive. A power head I added caused a sand storm that was not good. It covered most of my coral and messed up the water. I have since treated it and I am now dealing with brown algae out break that I think was cause by one of my bulbs going bad. I moved most of my coral to a rubber made container on the counter most of them are recovered.

Ernie the batfish died and the pygmy angel, not sure why, I think blaming the paired bangi cardinals (bulls).
On an up side my sump is ready to go. Water tested it the other night. I have no idea why it is taking me so long to get this move done? I think the fish gods are mad at me because I have not finished the upgrades and are punishing me, if I buy any new fish, it will die for no apparent reason. So I am not buying any new fish until the upgrade is done. That reminds me I need to order my return pump since I cannot find one locally that I want to pay for or that will have enough flow. Tomorrow I am going to build my over flow system hoping to get it tested as soon as the pump shows up. Happy reefing.

awesome!!!! You know we need pics though.

I am currently building the roma 200 over flow seen being build by Kev/donkey. I hope to get it up this next week and take down hope full two tanks! I have been doing alot of planning of who is going where.

I also am excited to say i final bought a file fish and he is "DAM COOL" i will have to get pics of him up soon. I am sad to say i had a syno out break a few weeks ago and lost some stuff. I am hoping to go to the frag swap in two weeks if my tax return comes in fingers crossed.

crossed fingers for you!! hahaha I'd better see you at Bob Moore or we're gonna send out the wolves

I am looking for a ride over and back. My truck is not leaving town it is not running that well.

bad bad truck!! Our caravan is leaving sometime Friday, and returning Sunday (decided to stay 2 nights instead of doing the early morning run) if that helps

I have move one of 40 gal tabs on to the stand and I am preparing to set the other up and test the over flow. I should have that done in the next week or two. I still have 4 tanks up but I have gotten 6 fish in one tank. Hopefully I can add pictures soon.

I also last weekend went to the Bob Moore frag swap with Joan and her hubby. I got some new corals and once they are looking good I will post a few new pics.

yes!!! pics of your loot!!! I should prolly do the same

Yah I do need to take some pics of the loot. I have added a few new folks to the tank. I have a Matted File Fish, she has the coolest green eyes and a Flame Angel that I got a great deal on at Barrier on the way back from Bob Moore Frag Swap.

I also got a pair of true osclaris Clowns and a orchid Dottyback. thanks to ebay. I have not been able to get a good pic of the dottyback, the color is just not right and does not do the fish justice. I will keep trying.

Nice work!! Its looking more and more like a fish tank everyday hahaha
