My 75 Gallon Build

I finally got my 75 to the point where I would like every one to see it, 4 months later than I wanted but part of that was due to the fact that I wanted to get the Aquascaping right the first time. And I think it was worth the wait, what do you think.

Here are the spec's
Display tank – 75 Gallon
Fuge – 37 Gallon with an actual water capacity of 34 gallon
Sump – 50 gallon with about 25 Gallons of water. Return pump from sump – Mag 7
Closed loop - Sequence Reeflo Dart pump – 3750 GPH , 2” outlet with 4 – 1” returns. I figure I am getting about 3000GPH out of this since pump is about 4 inches lower than tank.
Wave Maker – one 1” SCWD ( soon to be 2 )

Total live and base rock – 100 Lbs in tanks and 40 in sump. All Rock structures especially the rock wall on the right end are built on a 1” PVC frame, Rocks are epoxied and wire tied together for stability.

Lighting – Currently 4 bulb 216 watt T5 fixture. I am working on an 8 bulb 432 watt T5 hood with 8 Blue and 8 white Moon lights.

Current residents:
1 - Hippo Tang
1 - GSM Clown
1 - Fire Fish
2 – Ocellaris Clowns (Bonded pair)
Various Snails and Hermits.

Corals: Mostly mushroom, zoas, leathers a few LPS and a few Monti's. I will update this with better list later.

Now on to the photos....

 

Very nice brother. Keep up the good work. Post some old pics too. It's always good to see a progression. K+

 

Great tank. I especially like the aquascaping. Got any pics of you PVC frame?

 

No pictures but I have some drawings I will post as soon as I get a few minutes. Unfortunately i just got my camera back from Sony after 3 months, after repairs so I couldn't get allot of pictures during the build.

 

That would be great. I'm doing a 75 and your aquascaping is exactly what I want to do.

 

very nice, looks awesome, gives me inspiration for when I upgrade

 

I love it- there's so much to look at! Well worth waiting for...

 

Very nice! Great job on it!

 

Would love to see what equipment (pics) you use, maybe a shot of the sump/fuge (if you use either). Beautiful Tank.

 

yeah, I'd love to see how you've done that closed loop with the reeflo...where does the scwd come into play? Lovely tank my friend, i like it!!
