use one of the 75s for a fuge/sump for the other 75, use the bowfront for a reef tank, since the reef doesn't "need" the room. use the sump for both the bow and the other 75. Or you could connect the two 75s together


actually i'd make a list and plan how much you are willing to spend then go from there

you could always use one of the 75s for a coral propagation tank and then once a month give everbody on canreef a frag

Yup, I now have 1 SPS/LPS reef, 1 Softies reef & if I did another sw tank, it would be a fowlr (seahorses, jawfish, & pipefish).

I'd make them all different too! Gotta have variety to keep it interesting!

I would do them all different, in fact that is the case for me now with the 4 I have. 130 gal mixed reef, 33 gal sw jerk tank (small picasso trigger & 2 eels), 20 gal seahorse tank, 60 gal acrylic hex front African Cichlid FW tank. Good to have a little variety.

I have gone with a number of different set ups and the work load associated with 2,3 or 4 entirely different setups is massive. I have now incorporated all tanks into 1 setup yet having somewhat different items in each tank. By running all 3 tanks through one sump you reduce your expense and workload, thus giving you time to enjoy your hobby.
