Hey, welcome to 3reef! It sounds like you have an interesting project ahead of you, I hope you're able to pull together a working system with the...
Nice dendro pics! What is a realistic price though? I love mine I got from an LFS, I paid $45 for 1 full polyp, a baby polyp maybe half the size of...
Yes you can cut it off the existing frag plug that it came on if you want. You may want to leave it for a few days to let it get used to your system...
It's funny that I think a common misconception is that coral is extremely fragile, and so delicate that it's bad to even touch it or to let the water...
I see, I just don't know what fish you are going to be able to put with a lion that big that is still going to have enough room to swim in a 4' tank...
But it's just a thermostat, you can get the same functionality on a low end controller and get all the other stuff the controller does as well for...
Oh, I forgot about the dual returns, that really adds a lot of head loss. You might want to go with the Mag12 and dial it back if you need to. just...
If you have a canopy, or can build one this is what I would do. I would get a good quality 2 bulb T5 retro kit with good bulbs included like this...
Pacific East Aquaculture have lots of great corals. I'm contemplating an order with them when my new system is up. One thing I like about their site...
I posted in your other thread too but I just remembered there's a great sticky on coral feeding at the top of this forum. I would read that, I don't...
I think 75's are tricky for FO tanks because I don't feel 4' is long enough for the "medium sized" tangs and triggers in the 8-10" range, it's just...
I would probably do a water change and clean everything out if it were me, but I would probably also give it another week or so, no need to rush...
Welcome and looking good so far. I personally wouldn't feed the snow or phyto. You don't have much that needs feeding and not much is going to eat...
I'm not sure 3g will support anything but the smallest fish, maybe a clown goby or something in the 1-2" range fully grown, that's even pushing it...
Sounds good overall. What type of coral are you planning on keeping? 2 K2's is not a lot of flow for a 75 IMO.
Yup, probably more than enough. If you look at the rate of all the pumps feeding your different filters etc I doubt any of them will be able to...
The orange shoulder will be way too big when it grows up, over 12" fully grown.
If one tank is higher than the other I say don't split the return, it will be more trouble than it's worth if you can take the easy route and just...
If the sump is directly under the tank I would probably look more in the range of a Mag 7 personally. That will be around 400-500gph after head loss...
For that price I would look at getting a ReefKeeper Lite (I think I saw these for $100 somewhere) and a regular heater, it will probably cost...
