Saltwater shit
Figured I would share my build log of the aquarium from the beginning.
The brittle stars that I tried to save from the previous tank. A little difficult since I used zero of the LR from my 75.... And on their merry way after a drip acclimation.

But once my biopellets kick in, it will be easy mode. I had quite a bit more coral, but gave it away when I did the tank transfer. The corals I gave away were trouble makers, always stinging peaceful corals and shit.

Freshwater, I never cycled. I said fuck it. I would de-chlorinate the water and then shove the fish in after acclimating to temperature. It so easy to do a water change in freshwater tanks. When I do a saltwater change, I have to dig out my 35 gallon trash-can used strictly for mixing, fill it it ro/di water from my filtration system (which would take about 5 hours, since its a 75gpd system), throw in a pump, throw in the salt, and measure the salinity with a refractometer until it reads 1.025 sg. Or you can buy it for a dollar a gallon. Salt mix is about 20 bucks for 50 gallons of mix.

Some pictures I took a couple of nights ago. I cant get the white balance correct on my camera, so the colors of the corals arent as vivid.
This coral is non-photosynthetic, and require to be hand fed daily. They are eating mysis shrimp in this photo. Maroon clowns yucking it up. I hope to breed these one day. Surface is skewed because I took it from the top. Water pump was causing ripples.

I have a 4 bulb t5ho fixture. One bulb is a 10k, another 14k, third is a fiji purple, and the last one is an actinic.
The actinics and fiji purple bulbs are on the blue side, like 420 to 450 nm, and they cause corals to fluoresce. Most corals posses this ability, but like i said, I cant capture it because my fucking camera has a shitty white balance setting.

I might convert my old 75 gallon into a reptile cage. What all is involved with them? I was thinking about some anoles, or a pacman frog.
75 is too big for a pacman, but they're so damn cool. ---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ---------- He looks like he is ready to rape your anus or something.

No way I can juggle a camera and feed them the shrimp.
