I have used a toothpick and stuck corals(softies) to rocks. Takes about a week and then pull the toothpick out.

I had one of those. Now I have about 20. I'm looking forward to reading more on these things too.

That's good because that is my plan too. And Mary I would say your dead rock is no longer dead. :)

Well, I started filling up the 75 last night. I poured a little water straight into the overflow area and waited over an hour to see if everything was okay. Nothing. I kept checking as I was pumping water into the tank. I probably put around 50 gallons of water in the tank last night. When...

I have a Pigmy Atlantic and she has been in the tank for three years... no problems

I've got some plans that I used to build my stand and canopy for a 75 gal tank. All you need to do is change the measurements to fit your tank. You can email me at PBTRAMME@southernco.com and I'll send them to you. FYI - I found out yesterday that evidently the plans were not made for a...

I agree, that's why I am following the design where the water from the overflow will go into the first compartment where the skimmer is located. My refugium will be fed from the return pump.

Yes, refugiums are a isolated place to grow macro algae and pods. However, since the macro algae will feed off of nutrients, I don't see where you should reduce water changes(JMO). I am in the process of moving into a larger tank and the new set up will have a refugium below the display. Some...

No, no, no on the Rio. I have read many o horror stories on them. Try a Mag 5 or Mag 7.

Thanks everyone. Based on your pictures and your estimated weights, I am guessing I have around 65 - 70 lbs. Now I want have to spend so much on more LR with the new tank.

Here is my step by step plan for moving my set up into a new set up. You will probably have to modify it but it is a good start. Preparing for 75 Gallon Tank Week One 1) Make first small water change(5 gal) from present tank. Instead of throwing water out, take home and mix with 10 gal of new...

Here's a link to the diagram I used in building mine. It has three sections... one for the skimmer, one for the return pump, and one for the refugium. <a href="http://johnandtori.homestead.com/files/my_sump_diagram.jpg" target="_blank">Sump with refugium diagram</a>

Mini-Reefer, How many lbs of LR do you have in that 72 gal tank of yours?

40

BenTrue. It's not really new, just new to me. He specializes in going to people homes and businesses and setting up and maintaining their tanks. He is located in Alpine Square, if you are coming from Hoover, it's about a mile or so past Valley School on your left. He is planning on moving...

I've had a maroon clown that has been using one of my bubble corals for three years now.

Hey BenTrue, Have you checked out Aquarium Designs in Pelham yet? Great little place and the guy that owns it is very helpful.

of member tanks that have 30 - 40 gallon tanks. I am trying to estimate how much LR I have and would like to see some of your tanks to give me an idea. Many thanks!

Nice set up Sal. What size tank is that, and how many lbs. of LR?
