so, I've never done a build thread, mostly because nothing I'm doing is all that spectacular, and I suck at taking pictures, so, really.. whats the point without pictures. I've thrown some some shots together today though. So, heres a short write up on the 75 and display fuge... But really, more just a photo dump
Nem tank (that might be done with dinos, but now has cyano can also be seen in the pictures, and I think if you turn your head to the side on of them, you can catch a glimpse of the 60)
The display fuge is finally up and running, DSB and some macro. Its sitting on a modified RocketEngineer stand that I built to hold the 24x24 sump. The back where the tank sits is 'normal' RocketEngineer, the extended front is the only 'real' modification. Its lit by a 30 inch dual bulb T5. The light poles (for lack of a better term) are mounted to the back of the stand with braces, and sit on a 2by attached to the back of the stand. I used a forstner bit to recess them into the board, so the braces on the back hold no weight, and I can lift the poles out for the (likely) occurrence that the rustoleam allows the moisture to get to the conduit.
Until last weekend I was running with a 20 gallon tank for the sump on the 75. It moved over to the new sump last weekend, and the fuge went online this morning.
Tank is run by an AC3, and a couple of DJ power strips that I built into a 'power center' to hide the cords a bit and keep things out of the way.
BRS two part for dosing. This incarnation of the 75 has been up and running for about 2 years, and the rock and some of the coral came from an acrylic 75 that eventually became to hard to maintain for the scratches. It wasn't until maybe 6 or 8 months ago that I really starting putting any hard corals in the tank, which is why the leathers show so much more growth than anything else.
