Setup Q's

[paulyb18]

Ok, well I am looking for some different opinions on the way I have my tank setup...what do people think I need to do differently. I want to make this a reef tank but due that I’m in college it isn’t feasible because I move the tank 2 times a yr within 3 months. Anyway suggestions please, here's what I got:
75 Gal, 2 AquaClear 300's, Prizim Backpack protein skimmer, 36" 50/50 daylight, blue actinic compact fluorescent, 1 power head 295 gph, and 35 lbs live rock.

First off....Welcome to the BB....
hope you like what you see and hear...
Second....all of what you stated sounds good for a fish only.
for the live rock i would try to go with 48" vho's if you can.. will do alot better with the higher watts...
the filtration sounds ok..try to get more L/R if you can.. when it comes time to move also invest in New trash cans and powerheads for each can along with a heater for each.. makes moving somewhat easier.
if any other questiond come about Please ask away...
have fun and good luck

Yea, Im looking at getting more live rock real soon Id like to get another 60 lbs. Its only a 3 1/2 hr move back home, I try to save as much water as possible. Last time I moved it I only had to mix 5 Gal. Its a real pain moving 4 tanks all at once but it is well worth it!! Would it be possible to do corals with the moving?
Thanks again!
