Re: Fastlight's 75gallon first saltwater tank
Looks at how nice and shiney new everything is. Looks great! Fits in well with the rest of the house too. So what are your plans for the tank? Drilling painting equiptment. Fill us in marine. Really though its off to a good start.

what do u mean by drilling painting equipment? As far as the tank goes it will be a reef. i want all sorts of corals and fish. but this stuff is all so new to mean ive just been doing a ton of reading. The only thing i do know is that all the equipment i got for this thing is basically useless. The light is old and needs all new bulbs and its only a cp . I wanna sell that on ebay. Its a coral life with lunar lights and set up 4 4 bulbs. The filter is a wet/dry proclear aquatics it does have a protein skimmer but i dont know if its even effective anymore...let alone if it works. I hear wet/dry filters are a no go for reef tanks because the cause problem with the nitrate? So im a long ways off, and i have a small budget. What do you all think i should do next. My plan was tell sell the light...possibly my paintball fun to and get the 6 bulb nova pro. Then build a sump. The question is do i need a light on the sump? Then theres the whole what size sump and how do i set that up? and ive got like a trillion questions and dont know what direction to take next. any ideas?

Re: Fastlight's 75gallon first saltwater tank
I ran a Proclear wet/dry on my 75 for a year with no problems.But I was anal about maintaining it.I rinsed the filter media at least every other day.Either rinsed or at times bleached the bio-balls once a week.Every week I'd completely wash the wet/dry out when I'd do my water change.Thats the key to keeping nitrates down with a wet/dry.
The skimmers aint that great,but they will work.They'er better than seaclones anyway. That stand looks even better with the tank sitting on top of it.Cant wait to see it with water in it.
