75 gallon Seaclear REEF

Hey guys, I have been in the fish tank hobby for nearly 10 years now. More recently I have came to the saltwater side. About two years ago I started a 55 gallon FOWLR that I housed two moray eels and a lion fish. Recently I sold that tank to a friend so that I could stretch my legs in reefing!

Here's what I'm currently working with
75 gallon Seaclear System II

Gutted the back and basically turned it into a sump, it houses my GFO reactor, Reef Octopus BH2000 skimmer, heater, and return pump(rio 1400).

I drilled a bulkhead for the return instead of the terrible return holes this tank comes stock with.(adding locline this week)

For circulation I currently use a Koralia 750 and a aqueon 1250

My lighting is the aquaticlife R7S fixture 4 54wT5HO 2 150w hqi

It has 75lbs of live rock out of an established 200gallon(polyps and mushrooms)
As well as 60lbs of live sand

Tank has been running for three weeks now, houses a small CUC

Currently buffering it with B-Ionic calcium buffer system, hope to add corals this next
Excited to get things going!

 

I love this tank!! and love your "fisheye" lens. what are you planning on keeping? I love the black background. I painted mine, did you paint yours?

 

Haha the fisheye is the panorama off my iPhone 5, and I'm not sure yet I love sps and lps, ill probably do a little mix but probably sps dominated. And nope mine came stock with the back black, it has kind of a built in wet dry behind it that I reconfigured into a Berlin sump

 

Excellent start.

I used to have a Seaclear, was a great tank except for scratches. You have to be so careful to prevent scratches.
