so I figured out with old in with new . new look so new build thread. so I never really listed equipment before so maybe I do the build thread right this time.


first off its a 75 gal rr marineland tank and stand
marineland tide pool sump acrylic
also using a remote fuge which is a 20gal high drilled tank feed by a pump gravity drain back in tank.
fuge has a crazy deep sand bed and grape calurpa algae I hate cheato .
skimmer is 220 coralife super skimmer
also running 36w odessay uv light
main pump is also a marineland submersible
2 wp 25 for wave makers
also return is on a spray bar I built going across the complete length of the tank .
custom built canopy made by me
whole tank is led
fuge is lite by a 11w led fixture I modified yanked out the blue bulbs replaced with 10k and red
tank is lite by 2 120 w ebay led fixtures also modified . ( was just 10k and blue . removed about 14 10k each fixture added 3 uv each 2 red each 4 6k each and rest royal blue also switch some white bulbs to the blue channel so I can have them on in morning and night without it being super blue)
running 2 brs dosers thanks to bryman one of the nicest guys on here and has been super helpful. thanks buddy .
my uv ,main pump, skimmer pump, and fuge pump r all on a dj strip for ease of powering off during w/c
my new pride and joy reef keeper lite ( yes madjoe went dosers and controller and no world is not ending least I don't think) the reef keeper is running both light fixtures, my autozone moon lights , my fuge light , my 2 dosers, my heater, and my 4 inch fan I built into canopy . I hate to say it but the controller is best investment ive made in this hobby .
also have a 1/4 hp chiller for back up on a rancho controller.
top off is ran by a jbj ato and a ten gal tank
think that's it for equipment real effective and cheap and simple .

Joe---how do you like the Cling fish ?----looks like a Pleco/Algea eater hybrid......glass cleaner ?...thanks
 
not much to look at right now. but went way simpler with scape I know have access to front and back of tank so I can keep sand cleaner . keep in mind this tank has been running with same sand for 9 plus years . also my fish seem to love the more room to swim I was worried about hiding spots but I built ledges and spots for them using acrylic rods to connect the rocks so all is stabile . pics really don't show the detail.

once I start moving things back in I will keep updating pics I know its completely dif from before but I believe once I get my coral colonies back in its going to look better and run smoother then ever before
 
Joe---how do you like the Cling fish ?----looks like a Pleco/Algea eater hybrid......glass cleaner ?...thanks

looks like a pleco . hangs on the glass but don't clean nother they actually meat eaters although mine will eat nori and pellets its a cool little fish I use to forget about would stay behind the rocks all the time . now with new scape I c all the time I actually c all my fish all the time now so very happy about that
 
oh yea and after I added fish back in dt I noticed regal stopped eating pellets and only ate frozen then I seen why ugh white stringy poop fuk. I treated tank with prazi yesterday and today he pooped a mile long stringy white poop but is more active and ate pellets and shrimp again so fingers crossed . also ordered 1000 pods to reseed my rock :)
 
WTF happend? I was waiting for a 3D scape with pilars and everything... :) Looks good though :thumb:

See what happens when i get bored . Its gonna be good for the system . My only issue is u know me no patients and im twitching like a crack fiend i need my corals i miss my color ugh
