Logan's 75g - It's been fun!!

lol glad i'm not the only one! i'm lucky i still have a girlfriend after all this gotta say i'm having a lot of fun learning and building this though. the closest thing i've had to a "hobby" the past few years has been my fantasy football team. needless to say my records 1-7 this year and i couldn't care less hahaha

 

My buddy hooked me up with some more frags today. Idk if I'm adding corals too fast but I couldn't say no. Should I slow down? I know you should add fish very slowly is it the same with corals? They're all somewhat hardy softies, I think it brings the total to 6 small zoa colonies, about 4 mushrooms and a small kenya tree.

Params are all still good (what I can test for now anyways, more kits coming in the mail). I think I'm going to stick to a 15g water change every 2 weeks unless that seems like a problem.

(PS: the fantasy football team is now 2-7, woo! lmao)

 

Haha congrats! Pics pics!

 

haha thanks exactly i can always count on you! hopefully I can be home when the lights are on tomorrow to take a few, I tuned the halides down to 4 hours a day since theres all the new stuff in there, and new bulbs come wednesday! I'm pretty excited man ordered all kinds of goodies over the weekend ;D so lots of pics soon

 

I've also been trying to decide a list of fish to eventually keep. I currently have a pair of black/white clowns, a red scooter dragonet, and cleaner shrimp. Nothing new fish wise has been added for over 3 weeks.

These are just things that caught my eye - if anyone knows any reason not to get something or has ideas for other fish please let me know


I really like the splendid dottyback!

and blue tang

blue reef chromis - ehhh?



and things i like but probably cant have

there are some awesome wrasses, but i don't have a lid over my tank

my roommate has a jawfish i love, but it recommends 5" or more sand, mine is barely deeper than 2.

foxface lo - not reef safe? is the venomous thing a problem

type of dwarf angel - again, not really reef safe

 

Try getting a lid for this tank any fish could jump out. little young for a drangonet to. HTH

 

Thanks for the input! I do really like the foxface, and maybe a flame angel? Also thinking a diamond watchman goby to help sift the sand.

I'm still no sold on the blue reef chromis - any other suggestions? Or does anyone have some and love them

And I really like the blue tangs.. bummer my tank won't be big enough. Are there any tangs that would be happy in a 4' long tank?

oh and i know you're right about the dragonet - he was my roommates and he was getting rid of him so I thought i'd give it a try. He eats when i feed the other fish so maybe i'm lucky there? we will see how it goes though, i'll have chaeto for my fuge this week and can hopefully get some more pods growing for him.

 

I'm a little torn on stocking my 75 as well, so many options but what do I really want haha I'm right there with ya on the flame angel and diamond goby though

 

heres a few pics of the new stuff!











and the skimmer doing its thing

 

how many total pounds of rock/sand do you have in there now, and how are you liking the fine sand from marco?
