this is my friend Smartdog126's FOWLR tank, he has ick in it and only 1 fish left, me and him are gonna take it down eventually and make it freshwater!!
:feedback: Hey everyone!!!!! OK...I'm a newbie (be kind) but I've been researching the salt water world for a long time; anyway, I recently got a 75 gal tank. After about two weeks of researching rock I decided to go with Texas Holy Rock instead of all live rock. I have added about 3 pounds of live to help with the cycle and seeding, but didn't want to go all live...I like the different look and the "Holy" part of the rock.
I would like to get some feedback from other folks (please don't just be a jerk to the newbie)
I know this is a long term thing and don't want to rush any aspect of getting my tank going, but would like some pointers.
The tank is 75 gal, I have a wet/dry filter system that was set up on a 125 tank, about 100lbs of holy rock, 3 pounds of live rock, protein skimmer (not hooked up during cycling) and my two 1280gph power head should be here today!!!!
Here's an updated pic of mine. I have just a handful of fish in there now...mostly snails, crabs, etc. I'm thinking about getting some mushroom corals and slowly building it into a reef. Gotta get more lights, an RO/DI filter and a sump/fuge first, however.
It's about 2 yrs old now.
Thought I'd share mine. It's only about 3 months old.
No fish - just snails, crabs and shrimp.
Working on the LR and filling in the spaces.
Hopefully a year from now, it'll look like slappy's. *jealous*
