    I bought a 75 gallon tank for my fish and my reef. I just finished and wanted 3reef to view it!!! Oh and thanks everyone who gave me tips on how to go from CC to sand. I just have a few questions that I wanted to ask. I have a lawnmower blenny, clown fish, hippo tang and a royal gramma. Can I add more fish?? I have a couple more questions that I will post on different topics. But here's my pics.... Hope you guys like it!!;)

    that looks amazing..

    and concerning fish i would definitely add some more.. maybe 2 small ones?

    maybe another clown to pair that one up or a flasher wrasse. ( those are very cool) or fire fish are cool too

    Very nice;D

    The general rule of stocking is 1" of fish (adult size) to 5 gallons of water.

    Looks great! I would question whether or not to add another fish with that tang in there. How strong is your skimmer?

    i think your tank looks really good cyan. nicely scaped, and loys of swimming space and coral placement also. i think you can add a couple more fish also, at least until your hippo gets too big. any type you were thinking of adding?

    I'm not sure what kind of skimmer I got. I purchased the tank, stand, filters, CC, a few live rock pieces and the skimmer. It just has a sticker that says Pro clear aquatic systems. I can post a pic of that too. I had a question about the skimmer... I'm not sure if I have it connected right and it blows out alot of bubbles into my tank. Here's the pics... Butt divott I have no clue as to what to add. Any suggestions?? Thanks for the comments!

    hmmm, you should not see the pump pushing bubbles in to your tank. It should only be pushing bubbles up your skimmer. Your skimmer may put bubbles back in to your tank, but definitely not from the input side.

    Nice tank, it looks like you might be missing some pieces to the pump it should not be putting bubbles into the tank. Turn off the air and take and post a pick and we will be able to give you some suggestions. I think you may be missing a piece of air line.

    one thing about a crushed coral substrate , which im guessing you have. is i think its a little tougher to find CUC that wil lventure out in that. i might be wrong tho in that regards. but as far as fish go, im a fan of flasher wrasses. good colors and active. also a hit or miss type are the dwarf angels. ive had no probl3ems with either of mine , but i know some who have. so its like do you feel lucky. lol.

    Looking at your last pick closer I see the problem, you need to have one of the lines that is introducing air connected to the nipple that is letting the air into the tank.
