Re: Frenchie's 75 gallon build thread

been busy so instead of already have plenty of water already to go i filling jugs of ro and filling as they get full. One question though never used a overflow before and this one is utube style, how do you get the thing started.

Re: Frenchie's 75 gallon build thread

finally everything is transferred over to new tank. some of live rock was kept in my 125 which has had a hair algae outbreak again since i ran out of marine SAT and powerhead shot craps on me so bad flow didn't help any so some rock has hair algae and some new rock i got cheap from local reefer has calupra fern all over it which will be gone quick cause i got 2 new tangs for tank a scopas tang and not sure what kind other tang is either a kole tang of some sort or a bristle tooth tang. Now i have to sell 29 gallon setup so i can get a in sump skimmer and get rid of hang on skimmer.

Re: Frenchie's 75 gallon build thread

with all the lights on looks like a 15k color, which was good cause i wanted more of a light blue color not so much white as 10k so when i get my zoos and ricordea stocked up in this tank colors will really stand out.
