HEYYY everyone, hows everybody today?... Me oh Im good just sitting around looking at my 75 gallon reef thinking to myself WOW I need a 180 gallon because my 75 is getting cramped with all the stuff I want in it!...
so heres some questions, Ive got a 75 gallon reef ready system with the overflows, is there a way I can stop the overflow holes up and use the 75 as a sump for a 180 gallon?
the sump would acctually be another tank under the stand for growing macros, culturing LR and filtering water through a deep sand bed and it would also have a chamber for carbon and such.
Also, how long would it be before I could start adding corals and my fish if I used all my LR and put LIVE SAND in the tank... I would say I have at least.... ... 200lbs of LR in my tank now... give or take 25 to 30... I would say about 2 to 3 weeks?... if I used a good bit of live sand ... like 80lbs of it and the rest just argonite reef sand mixtures?
I would put MH and VHOS on this tank and could I use 2 65 watt actinic compacts for moon lights?
I think thats all the questions I have for now!...
thanks for your help everyone, and ALSO does anyone know where online I can get some super cheap good quality MH's... email me Shawnts106@yahoo.com make sure the topic says MH or something so I notice it, with an average of 100 emails a day its hard to pay attention LOL!!!
