75G build first time

i had a 55g sw tank it last 4 months before all hell broke lose. the lighting unit itself died and a stand failure. so i decided to try it out again. but I'm not sure if this is the right part of the forum to post this if not I'm sorry.

In January i purchased two TaoTronics TT-AL09 (LED)
then early February i purchased a 75 gallon tank from pet smart and a metal stand from a lfs
waited for a break from school and work and here we go;


in this picture placing the and added 10-15 gallons of water

in this picture i added one of my led lights trying to figure out the depth i need

in this picture i bought a pole and hung between two brackets the lights would twist so i had to find a new solution. which was to buy a small chain and hang each side over the bar

i added Koralia Evolution Aquarium Pump(750g) 1 300 watt heater and you can see the itemp(digital aquatics reefkeeper) i just got my sump but was waiting on BRS to send some stuff started adding salt.started to add my rock which i bought at lfs/brs ( i ordered another 50 pounds i don't like the difference in the rocks) fixed the lighting added more water

taken this morning i have cpr 100 over flow into a Aqueon 34502 ProFlex Sump Model 3 with a Reef Octopus NWB110 4” Pinwheel in Sump Protein Skimmer which may need to be upgraded in the future. that has a carbon reactor, itemp, 2 300 watt heaters. and a Eheim 1260 Universal Pump as a return.


so after all that should i add a anotherKoralia Evolution Aquarium Pump? was thinking of getting a HOB refegium.

 

Very nice.

 

excellent start dead ice. look forward to seeing your progress

 

Very nice!
I have 3 750s and 2 1050 koralia pumps on my 75 and wish I had more flow. I'm starting to save for 2 mp 40s now, which ill buy one at a time

 

Nice start ice. Welcome to the forum and looking forward to seeing your progress!! What is your ultimate goal for the tank? Reef? FO? softies, SPS, ? have you thought about what type of fish you'd like to keep?

 

Very Nice Start. +1

 

Very nice start

Moved to Show off your fish tanks! forum

 

as for fish i would like a false Ocellaris Clownfish; i have a baby coming in August and i find out if i got accepted in RN school soon so that has a small monkey wrench on what i want to do vs free time to do it. but a reef tank would be great.
