my new saltwater tank

75 gal starter tank (will move too 300 gal when fish need it)
1 green spoted puffer
1 niger
1 neon dottyback

 

Very nice, keep us posted on this, do you have a sump for this?

 

no using a emperor 400 and geting a reef octopus skimmer in an week or so i will put up more close up pics i cant wait to stock with corals!

 

looking good so far Fishluvr

you might want to consider an additional wave maker for the other side, directed more across the surface IMO

Not sure what size that Korallia is?
but even for soft corals, you might find with the 1 power head, you will have to many calm areas in the tank and thus a haven for nutrient build up in those areas and potential algae and cyno issues

also the water surface can become a scum magnet as surface tension holds protiens there (white film occurs)
a wavemaker directed across the surface when combined with the surface skimmer box on Reef Octopus HOB skimmers means your surface should stay scum free and thus your gas exhange will be improved

NIce tank.

 

its a 3 yeah i plan to have at least 4 power heads. i havent looked in to wave makers yet. still geting everything together the tank is about 4 weeks old

 

steve what wave maker would you recomend?

 

hey looks good and welcome to the fam..and listen to everything steve says..hes a reefmaster

 

The one you got already looks fine to me Fishluvr

what size is it?
as providing its not oversized, another 1 like that on the other side could be OK

20 - 30 times tank volume is fine for most soft corals IME (some can take more)

with a 75 gallon tank that means a total movement of 1500 - 2250 Gallons per hour

so the next power head you get is partially decided, by whats in there already IMO
