finally done - 75 gallon project

[reef master jon]

I started my 75gallon project about 1 1/2 years ago. It’s been a long time coming; I would like to thank all of you guys that I bugged day in and day out with questions on equipment and different things about reefing. HERE WE GO- My tank consist of 75 gallon display tank , 20 gallon long refuge , 2 HYDOR Koralia pumps, MAG 12 Closed loop system, MAG 9 return pump. 150 Phos ban reactor, PS-250 protein skimmer, 8 bulbs TEK fixture, coral life T5 80watt plaint light for refuge, live sand, live rock, and foam rock. I don’t have any fish yet. Today I just added some pods in the display and refuge. Here are some pictures from the start tell now. Hope you enjoy

looks sweet man. Can't wait to see it with some color to it.

[reef master jon]

thanks man, what do you use to dose your tank with calcium or what product do you use ?

[airdog67]

GREAT JOB!!!! I love the aqua scape that you have created. That foam wall is one of the best ive seen. It pays off to take your time and plan everything out instead of being impatient( like what I did). Send more pics as you start adding stuff

[airdog67]

I forgot to say that I love the side view the best :)

[reef master jon]

thank you so much for giving me your opinion, i only had opinion from my wife and she thinks i spend to much time with my tank and not with her. so when someone else thinks it nice makes me happy. i spent a lot of time and planning on this tank. i am still new to the hobby and this is only my second tank. my first was a 40gal. thanks again.

im really liking the aquascape as well. i cant wait to get started on my rock/foam wall on my 75. How is the 8 bulb tek fixture? i thought it was too wide for a 75 thats the only reason i havent ordered it yet. is yours hanging, on stands, in a canopy?

[sondaar]

Amazing aquascape! Youve done right! Keep up the good work!

[scottallert]
