75g Build (Indo-Pacific Reef) - A Long Work in Progress

Great set of plans, best of luck.

 

I have a 75 gal. saltwater that i got about a month ago and i use to have a 55 gal. The 75 (even know it is only 20 gal more) feels like A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME. You will enjoy A TON, like me. I can't wait to see it all finished!!! I got my tank a month ago and i was so excited i kinda went on a shopping spree and now my tank is almost totally full!

 

Thanks 2 in 10.

Thanks. That's awesome. I can't wait. Yes, I wil be going with the 75. Whether I go with the 75(which I will) or the 55, I will still need to have it shipped or have a friend drive to Findlay with me.

 

I need a pump to pump mixed SW out of a 30g brute trashcan & up to the tank(if I have the extra money). 5ft of head. Would an Eheim 1250 be alright for this if it was only used for this one task, of refilling the tank for WC's? At 5ft of head it would be about 100gph.

A 1262 will be used to run everything else.

 

75g FTW! Nice choice, you will not be dissapointed.

 

lol. The price wasn't much difference. I decided to go with Eheim's biggest pump(1262) as it was only $18 more than the 1260 & 150gph more.

Any thoughts on the 1250 for water changes?
