Operation Young Reef, 16 year old's 75 Gallon Build Log

[Damsel13]

I have used shims for over three years. They make a world of difference. And hey you my carpet does not stink! ? I hope

I used plexiglass and it worked like a charm, but that problem is solved.

Might be a 2nd Siphon Break in case the first one get clogged.

 

[joker577]

But it's like an inch higher! I don't get get why they would put it so high and the water sprays out like a jet stream

 

[joker577]

Time for some picture updates! Well got everything moved over and added a cute little percula and a featherduster, along with 25+ crabs and about 15 turbo snails...I've got about 80-85 pounds of live rock plus 100 pounds of live sand and a little bit in the refugium along with some chaeto. Excuse the algae as it's in its early stages still

********bump

Looks good!
As for the durso I think what your talking about is the anti siphon for the return. Mine shoots a jet out and makes a lot of noise so I put a little sponge under it to quiet it down.

Keep the pics coming.

Very nice joker.

What did you use to secure your rocks to each other?

 

[joker577]

Pure architectural genius :lol:

 

[logiktest]

But of coarse!

 

[joker577]

I'll get some new pics up after the algae bloom...but so far nothing has died and i'm real happy about that

 

[joker577]

I picked up a much larger clownfish and about 10 min after i put it in the tank the small one is trying to play catch up swimming behind/around it

 

[logiktest]

Cool... but isn't your tank still cycling?

 

[joker577]

I used Biospira and 35 pounds of LR and LS from my other tank so the levels never got bad. The worst I had was .25 nitrite and 10 nitrate
