![]() Sorry about the crappy iPad picture, but the tank was running for 2 years Neill I bought it from them on Tuesday it's. a 75 gallon half round tank and is my first reef tank.
It came with a Fluval FX5 filter, cheap lights and a power head, also 100 lbs of LR and 60Lbs of LV sand. It also came with 1clown fish and a star fish, both are doing well both eating and look quite healthy. I just ordered a sump, protein skimmer and some LEDs of ebay, and an RO/DI system. I have had it for 4 days and used 70% of the water that the previous owners had and the rest was a fresh batch of treated tap water and salt mix. I did PH, NITRITE, PHOSPHATE AND CALCIUM tests last night and all is well within acceptable limits. I want to keep some corals and some colourful fish, just waiting to make sure the tank is ok before I buy corals and add any more fish. |

![]() Are you going to drill the tank or use a hang on the back overflow ?
If u can go drilled now that would be better, get rid of the fluval 5 as soon as u can set up the sump. You can s ell it and buy some more equipment. Love the tank dimensions and the half circle look. What light would u like ? |

![]() Using a hang on back overflow, then if in 12 months I'm doing ok in the hobby I'm going to go for a bigger tank may be 220 or so but that will have drilled overflows
I thought I might use the FX5 as a carbon and GFO filter if possible? I just bought some LEDs that are programmable and have high range of spectrum |
