I just setup a new 75g Saltwater a couple of days ago. It's been a few years since my last saltwater system and it's good to be back.
It will be a FOWLR setup for now. It also includes coral replicas which probably will be replaced with live corals a year or so down the road. Right now, it only has the coral replicas and I have 40lbs of Lalo live rock on order w/ about 20lbs of base rock. I can't wait to get the live rock in tank.
The substrate is 50 lbs of Aragonite sand mixed with Caribbean seashells.
The equipment is ample for the set-up, but the lighting will be upgraded if I decide to turn this into a reef.
Set-up includes:
1 Seaclone Protein Skimmer 150 w/foam prefilter
2 Rena Smartfilter 55's
1 Power Sweep 228 powerhead w/foam prefilter.
3 strip light with a 50/50, a 10,000K and a GE freshwater/saltwater. (120W)
Livestock:
Inverts - will include crabs, shrimps and snails.
Fish - Chromis, Flame Angel, Royal Gramma or Fridmani, Clown(s), watchman goby, cardinals, and maybe a tang or butterfly. I'm still deciding on species.
Would a Flame Hawkfish be a danger to the shrimps and/or snails?
Here's the tank now...just 3 days old.
