i have been running saltwater for about 3 months now and i learned of a buy that i couldnt resist. it was a fully cycled 75 gallon reef tank (minus corals 
). i had met the guy a couple of times for frags and he called me wanting to know if i wanted to buy his reef tank. and well i went and looked at it. he told me he wanted $500 for it and i bought it. i set it up about an hour ago. it is half full of his water and half full of r.o. saltwater from the lfs. i am wanting to turn it into a reef tank, so everything out of the 55 livestockwise is going into here.
here is a picture of the tank right now
here is under actinics
here is under daylights
and i didnt no where to put this. so here is the protean skimmer
the tank is 48x18x19 inches
it has a marineland 48" quad HO T5 strip light reef light with 2 daylight bulbs and 2 actinic bulbs.
the stand was homemade by him.
it has a marineland hood biowheel filter system.(minus biowheels
) but it is mainly for waterflow
i will add a refugium in the future.
it also has 2 very large powerheads which i cannot make out the name because it is in japanese
i just tested the water and everything is awesome.
the janitor system is pretty large. it has over 100 little cornucopia shaped snails, 7 nerites, 8 turbo snail(one of which is almosed twice the size of a golf ball), a couple of other that i cannot remember the name of .
i have no corals in it yet although maybe tommorrow if the water checks out.
i plan to add 2 black perculla clowns to the tank, one 6 lined wrasse, 3 hermits, and a 5 lined sandsifter goby tommorrow morning.
as for inverts that arent crabs... the tank came with two medium sized peppermint shrimp which are doin fine.
( please remember that this was a fully running aquarium that had been established for nine months and all i did was move it 20 miles so im not just adding things at random i am actually test result-wise clear to add coral but just to be safe i am waiting a little bit to see if the tests change)
p.s. please comment and give me stocking ideas.
