Our 75 gallon transfer...

[heatheryjoy]

I finally got everything moved over from our 55 gallon with crushed coral to a RR 75 gallon with sand. Here are pics of the new set up. I was able to make a nice cave for my tang. He was rescued from a tank full of damsels that had nearly chewed off his fins! He is doing great now and is so friendly. I've also got a pair of clowns, a huge bubble tip anemone, and a new bangaii cardinal (still in qt) I've got a few coral frags too, most are small and I can't wait for them to grow! I have everything under 350W metal halides and 192W actinic PCs.

Wow! Looks ALOT better. Great job.

Wow looks great!!

 

[heatheryjoy]

Thankyou!

I can't believe how much easier it is to aquascape a 75! I had such a hard time with that 55 and the rocks never suited me no matter how I arranged them. They are just so narrow, about all you can do is a wall o' rock! That little bit of extra depth is nice!

If it were up to my husband we would have a 300 gallon!! He tends to go WAY overboard with things. I figured we should keep it as small as possible since our living room (where we spend all of our time) is upstairs. Don't want a huge fishtank crashing through the floor! But if it were up to him (and money no object!) he would have one big enough to scuba dive in
