Ace25's 75G Build Thread

Ace, I don't have the full colonies like what you had going but you can definitely count on having frags of anything you want from my tanks to get you restocked. That's the beauty of your practice of sharing. What a great insurance policy!
LOL...I think half of my corals were yours in the first place. It'll be no time at all before a frag from my tank grown under your care and revamped system will soon outgrow the mother colony. Along with the many corals you shared, I have some corals you didn't have...jedi mind trick, pearlberry, purple plasma, rainbow stylo, miami orchid, turqouise tipped, green nubby, blue tip stag, other unnamed wild acros, etc. Would love to see how they'd look under your care. Whenever your ready....

more then willing to ship you back some of the dups you sent me man :) only one id expect to keep is that rainbow ;)
 
Good Luck Ace. Nice job on the sump. Is there a limit to how large a sump can be? I hope you manage to kill the hair algae.
 
LOL.. no Conski, I would never ask for frags back from someone I shipped to. I can replace just about all my corals just from locals in my area. ;)

Fishfriend, the general rule for sump sizes is go as BIG as you possibly can. If you can put a 1000G sump on a 5G nano tank, there is nothing wrong with that.
 
so i could put a sump on my 30 gal?
 
Yup, I had a 15G sump on my 29G tank for the longest time.. just took that 15G sump out of my 75G and I am going to put it back on my 29G again.. One of my pet peeves is having cords/equipment inside the display tank, and my 29G without a sump has everything hanging in the display.
 
So I just got done reading all 21 pages (40 ppp definitely helps), and you have no idea how much I envy your tanks! Sorry about losing your Engineer Goby, he sounded awesome! This thread has really made me want to get started in SW.

How is your tank doing now?
 
Well.. been scrubbing off hair algae by taking the rocks/corals out and using a stiff toothbrush in a trashcan of water I took out right before for a water change. I got about 1/3 of the rocks pretty clean.. wow my tank looks sooo much brighter without all that dark green hair algae. Still got a bit of work left but I had to take a break to let my "raisin hands" from having them in the water for hours return back to normal. Hopefully by Monday my tank will look somewhat decent again and then I can work on making sure the water parameters are stable and then start restocking corals.
 
Just wanted to throw a couple Anemone/Clown pics up from my 29G since my 75G isn't anything worth looking at right now. ;) After my 75G is back on PAR I will scrub my 29G to get rid of the hair algae in that tank and install the sump.

Oh ya.. just in case anyone is wondering what is so bad about hair algae.. well.. the hair algae itself isn't all that terrible.. it is all the crap that gets stuck in it that fouls up the tank that makes it bad. I must have had 100 hermit crab corpses without shells stuck in the hair algae. Just cleaning up 1/3 of the rocks I can already see the few surviving corals starting to appreciate it a few hours later.
