SnooknRedz's 75 Gallon(SHUT DOWN)

Thanks again bro, your really on your game with helping me out.

I like the list too, i really want the kohl tang. they're so active and beautiful, and it'll be fine in my tank. I want those chromis so bad too! have 5 swimming in unison would be so tight.

If i go the LED route, i would engulf myself in a DIY project. for the $ i can get the colors i want, spacing, grouping, and dimming. It would be less that 1 radion, and if a light goes out. i can pop one in and be done, vs sending it back to the manufacturer... killing my coral cuz i have no lights lol. I just love to get my hands dirty and i think that would be a cool weekend project. And just another thing on my tank that i could be like ; yea. i made that.

I mean i made my stand, my sump, drilled the tank myself, its truly a product of my imagination and lighting would be the cherry on top, literally cuz it would be on top of the tank.... lol me and my silly word play haha.;D

 

As long as the other maroon clown you get is smaller then your current one, then you shouldn't really have to worry about it. I would probably think about getting one that is no more then 1" in size though to make sure you don't end up with two females.

 

Thanks stick! That shouldnt be a problem, cuz the one i have now is pretty big. roughly inch n a half, maybe 3/4. I remember seeing some at my LFS that were small. way small compared to mine.

If i could find her a partner, i may do so.

 

Haha "yeah, i made that." DIY would be great. Rapidled would be a good place to look.

 

Well, tested the water and unfortunately im out of one of the bottles to test my amm. But i have my nitrite test still and theres def some signs of it in there, not much prolly at like .03 .05, no trates yet either.

Im hoping that this process could hurry the f up!!

 

Day 9.
Params:
Amm: DNT
SG: 1.023& rising. slowly.
Nitrite:<.03
Nitrate:None.
Ph: 8
Im going to go get my amm tested tomorrow. probably. Think my cycle has come and gone, but im not certain. I only have ~40 lbs of rock in there of which under 10lbs is live from my 20. Cube of mysis with the nasty stuff washed out, it was purely just skrimp.

If my amm comes back 0 i think ill be in the clear as far as adding my 3 small fish from das nano. the rest of my live rock into the tank too. i doubt theyll make a huge impact in 100 gallons of water. Plus the rock im adding already has the bacteria that can handle these fish so i dont see why it would be a problem with more rock. and clean water. It is only day 9, i know but i think i had a quick cycle. Tomorrow will tell.

Im optimistic that life will be in there shortly. Im going to get some carbon soon and begin to run it, followed by GFO down the road.

 

Sounds like a pretty good plan snooks oh and I can't imagine you will have an problems adding your current livestock mainly because all the live rock your adding with it

 

Thanks Bobo. Exactly what i thought too! I got my ammonia tested yesterday at a fish store, and the guy said it was either 0.5~1... Now im not sure if thats the peak of my spike, or its on the decline as i never tested it.

either way there is small traces in there, so soon there shall be fish! Im going to test my trites right now again, and see if theyre on the decline as well.

 

Are you going to empty the 20? It depends on the bioload of the 20, but I think you can slowly start transferring the small amount of live rocks from 20 to 75 to boost the bacteria growth in the 75.

 

Trites are at 0.3 or less. the color for 0.3 is darker than the liquid, but its still orange... zero is yellow. my salinity is rising as well. its 1.024. I tested for nitrates as well, and theyre at 0.
