The not so slow 75 gallon Tattoo Shop build...NEW PICS FEB 3 2011

[Rbacchiega]

DUN DUN DUN
So fyi, quickest way to get what you want from a man (well besides the adult rated version)...home cooked meals. Just sayin. Nothing is going to be built until the next trip down here after New Years, which leaves plenty of time for me to save up the moola and make this tank spifferific.
Because this is in a tattoo shop it's got to be nice to look at but easy to maintain, so hello softy/LPS dominated tank!

Specs:


Tank and Stand:
Standard 20 Gallon Long AGA with Run of the mill black Stand.
- No Sump on the tank etc so doesn't have to be overly fancy!

Lighting:
Current 30" Sundial 4X24 T5HO fixture
- 2 Geisman Actinic, 1 Pure Actinic, 1 6000K Daylight
Shop is open for 8 hours 6 days a week, so that's going to be the light cycle. Will probably just run it on a timer for the 7 day cycle to make things easy.

Filtration:- 20ish lbs Live Rock
- Shallow Sand Bed
- Still up in the air on a skimmer...will probably get a small HOB one in the long run, but for now, regular weekly water changes will suffice.

Flow:
- 2 Koralia 2s....oh wait, what's this?!?!? A sale?!?! BAM Vortech MP 10...Figure Crest mode should do it.

Livestock list (well, what I'm shooting for anyways)

- Zoas, Rics, Mushrooms and an open brain or two...all obviously depending on availability.
- CUC Consisting of mainly snails...Hermits and I havn't had the best relationship...ha ha
- For fish...no idea. need movement and color....hit me with suggestions!

Dear self, welcome back. Sorry.
