75g Mixed Madness

That whole thing was disgusting. I gagged when I opened the bags. Holy hell. Lol. I just turned it on its side and blasted it with the hose till I couldn't smell it anymore.
Tank is filled with my waterchange water from my 75 gallon and seeded with some rocks from that tank too. Rest of the rocks are cured live rock that I scrubbed the hell out of and washed off.
I'm gonna wait a bit and test and everything but I doubt it will cycle. Just waiting on the AI controller to come in, should start to get stocked by Friday. Here's some pics of the rockwork and such... can't really grasp the depth with my camera phone though lol but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

structure looks alot like my biocube 14, works well in these tanks. looks great
Jim, no we were talking about the sand that was still in the tank he when he got it. LoL
Whew! I couldn't imagine why it would have had an odor, since it had never been used. But, I didn't think to open it up to check it, and when I saw your post, I began to scratch my head...wondering. :hororr:
Looks pretty good Xavier. How much of the setup work on "her" tank did "she" do? 
I agree with AJ about the light hangers... not a bad idea at all! The rockscape looks pretty good too.
By the way, I sent you a pm about the rock also.

She helped clean the tank, and moreso the stand. Did a lot of the rockwork as well. I'm not the best at that Haha. But nah she knows her stuff pretty well and is nowhere near shy to get her hands wet lol.
The light hanger worked out well, I Just kind of threw it together with stuff I had laying around, eventually it will have a shelf over it and I will be dripping water for an auto top off effect from up there. Yaay gravity. Saving me $$ lol.
Top off will be a container drilled towards the bottom 1" or so with airline hooked up to a float valve in the last chamber. Saw it on nano-reef somewhere and figured its worth a shot.

Sounds like a good plan... and I was just messing around about how much she did.
Quick update, added the GFO reactor and carbon reactors back on to the tank, build the better part of my canopy, and am working on a fix for the low alk/high calcium problem, but in the mean time everything mainly looks great and is showing great growth.
Most of the SPS are starting to really take off, such as the blue millie i got from Jim. There are about 20+ branches on that guy and it has grown a good 2" in all directions.
Also added two angels
a Lamarck's and a Pygmy Flameback. They are both doing wonderfully, hanging out together, and have not bothered a thing. They eat frozen and pellet like pigs!
Pictures to come tomorrow or tuesday. Lights are already off for the night

Little update, added a Mini-cal calcium reactor setup to the tank. Hopefully this will keep my alkalinity and calcium up without me dumping a bottle in every week lol.
Starting to see some great growth on the sps side of things, and as soon as I get salt tomorrow ill be doing a long series of daily water changes to try to get the palythoa problem under wraps.
