Hello!!!

Hey guys just wanted to introduce myself and my new tank!! I recently purchased my first SW tank, a 75 g aqueon with internal overflow. I am planning on starting with fish only and migrating to soft corals then eventually LPS and one day a nem. The tank has been cycling with 50 lbs of dry reef rock, 24 lbs of live rock and 60 lbs of Arag-a-Live Black Hawaiin sand. For flow, my return turns over around 700 GPM couple with a Sicce 2 and 3 powerhead rated at 800 and 1200 GPM respectively.

As far as lighting is concern I just ordered a 2 lamp T5 fixture until I can save up enough to build a LED fixture. Hope you all enjoy and please leave comments (good or bad lol).

 

welcome to 3 reef. it looks like a good start and correct me if i am wrong but i think you mean GPH 700GPM would be a lot of flow for a 75 gallon tank

 

Hello Burch. Welcome to 3reef. Looks your off to a good start. Enjoy the journey!

 

HAHAHAHA ........ yes Dog you are correct sir. At 700 GPM I would have quite a mess on my hands.

 

Never seen black sand before, looks awesome! Any ideas for your livestock wish list?

 

Welcome to 3reef.

 

Thanks!!!! Well the debate is still out on what I will actually buy for the tank. I would like to have a pair of Percula Clowns, a Flame Angel, a Mystery Wrasse, maybe a Yellow Tang, a Foxface Lo, a Long Nose Hawkfish, a Watchman Goby and maybe some Chromis. I am still in the research phase so more than likely I won't be able to get all the fishs I would like but that just means I get to get another tank lol.
