75 gal build

[Bandito Aquatics]

I think I have written this three times now and deleted it every other time because I get fed up with trying to write everything down

the build contains

1. 75g tank with middle overflow
2. 3 ai primes
3. Mp10
4. Eshoppes RS-100
5. jebao dc 12000 return pump
6. SWC-180 skimmer
7. 
   It’s been running for a little bit now since the move started but it’s somewhat done now and I’m happy with the outcome
   Im going to add some photos so you can see how things are looking all the corals are doing well and that didn’t get sold just got added to the display. Hopefully you guys like the pictures.

Very nice Eric. How's the new home, and when's the njreefers housewarming party?

 

[Bandito Aquatics]

Everything seems to be chilling

I want to add more pods anyone have any

I saw that one I was hoping that someone local would have some but no luck

 

[ericrodriguez]

Did you call absolutely fish or iconic? They are close to you..

I bought copepods at Absolutely Fish a couple years ago but haven't seen them since then - I was told their cultures crashed. They do still sell the live Tigger Pods. Some Petcos similarly have tigriopus copepods (though it's a different brand).

Sea Level Aquarium frequently has copepods that he gets from someone locally. And then there's a guy named Mike in Parsippany that I've bought pods from - here's his Craigslist ad:

Coral Frags Galore - general for sale - by owner

INVENTORY CHANGES DAILY THESE ARE JUST GENERIC PICTURES TO GIVE AN IDEA OF THE KIND OF STOCK IS...

If you're local, I could also hook you up with some pods. I ordered some about 2 months ago from Pod Your Reefs, and following someone's suggestion, I experimented with pouring half the bottle of pods into my sump, then refilling it with some fresh saltwater and adding some phyto and nori flakes. Within a week or two, the bottle's filled with pods again. So I just periodically dump some back into my sump and DT and repeat. Not a high tech way of culturing exactly, but seems to be working!

That’s awesome I’m not local to many people I’m a bit up north not many reefers up by me I guess.

Torch is splitting Yay me.


Some sexy coloration we have here

And here


My zoa garden is missing some colors not sure what really but would love some more blues.

Bottom of the tank looks ok want to get something like a wall hammer or a scoly
To hang out with my plate




Lastly my chalice seems to be happy.

 

[amado]

Tank looks great. Moving sucks so it great to see you new build coming a long .

 

[Bandito Aquatics]

Oh yea the move was a mess and building the tank and the set up was all lot also doing it myself was no fun I get to reap the rewards by the feeling of accomplishment
