Hello Superfishy! Welcome to 3reef!

 

Welcome to 3reef.

 

WElcome to 3reef. Some more info would be nice to help ya out.
Do ya want corals/what do you want living in the tank?
What is your substrate?
How much rock do you have?
lighting?
filtration?
skimmer?
RODI unit?
test kits?
powerheads?
heaters?
thermometer?
bin for mixing new water?
salt?

lol, there's alot of things ya can add

 

I have a marineland 100 skimmer
a double bulb t5 glo lighting system
2 1400 powerheads
300 watt heater
thermometer water keept at 80 degrees F
live sand
80 pounds of live rock
i have test kits for everything needed for a reef
i dont have a ro system on the tank but i top off with ro water
I am just looking for some very nice fish for my tank or coral just to brighten it up a little.

In a few weeks i am upgrading to a 90 gallon and it comes with 2 150 watt mh lights

 

I'd really get an RODI unit.

Ya can get some wrasse/orchid dottyback/2 clowns/a goby/a chromis/ etc etc. I always reccommend looking fish up on liveaquaria and reading up on what ones look cool to ya.

Some good starter corals would be a hammer/torch coral, a toadstool, some red/green/blue/purple shrooms

 

You just started your 75 and you're already upgrading to a 90? That's a lot of work for a 14 year old. Congrats and the set up.

 

Ok thanks for all your help one mre thing on the 90 it has a really cool rock looking 3 D background i was wondering if you think it is reef safe and you can place coral on it my lfs says it is ok and i trust him very much he has been in the hobby for 20 years anyway. just want your opinions

any yes i am also getting a 72 gallon bow front saltwater in 2 more days very buissy and need all the help i can get. thanks for all of your help already

 

Hard to say on the 3d background without knowing more about it.

And yes, you're gonna be very busy

I'd look up stuff on LA, and get a stock list/wish list put together and post it on here so 3reefers can help ya with it.

 

Ya i dont know much abot it. i will talk to my local fish store more because he built it

what do you guys think about shiping off of live aquaria
