Transferred my 29g Biocube to a 75

Here are some pics of the new setup... still stocking the tank and such but here's what I got so far...

First day was super cloudy, you couldn't hardly see anything in the tank because the sand was stirred up.

A mollusk of some sort came attached to my live rock and is still alive... not sure what it is though... any thoughts on it?

These guys have seemed to pair off... maybe some Clown babies in the future?

These two came into the tank at the same time and always seem to be near each other.

Oh and before anyone asks, I got two powerheads on order to increase the flow in the tank.

Looks nice.

The clowns have definitely paired up. The bigger one being the female.

Now you just need some more rock

Very Nice. Nice clean slate to start. I have a 20 long and cant wait to get in to my 75g. I said Iid wait a year before I moved in to my 75, but...kinda makin me nuts.

Working on the rock, up to about 35 lbs now. Had 20 in the biocube and bought 15 more when I transferred the tank. Live Rock is freakin' expensive!

But it was on sale for 6.99 a pound the last time I bought it...

Does it all need to be live rock or can base rock work as well?

Look for a local reef or saltwater club to get cheap live rock. I get all mine for 2.50 or 3.00 a pound its way nicer than the stuff you find in pet stores. Not to mention all the other sweet deals I have gotten on my local one.

I just transferred over my 20 long to my 72 today and I am already extremely happy with it and picked up 6 or 7 new zoas too. I have way too much live rock at the moment though, need to get rid of 10 or 15 pounds. Your tank is looking nice and I really like the inhabitants.

Thanks! I'm sure there has to be a Saltwater Club around Charleston, SC. I'll look into it.
