Well here I go again

[Fish Finder]

Today was the big day. With the help of some great friends i finally set up my 75G RR tank. I will be updating this thread when ever there are updates on the tank. Here are some specs on it.

75G RR Tank
30G sump
40LBS of sand
20LBS of live sand
75LBS of live rock
75 Gallons of water
Berlin Skimmer
1/4HP chiller - Pacific Coast Imports CL600
Koralia 4
Mag 7

As of right now the tank is to cloudy to do anything. Just waiting for it to settle so i can move the live rock's around. Once it clears up and i move to rocks i will get updated pic's to post. I would like to give a shout out to everyone who helped me today. Here are some pic's of the tank. Enjoy

Thanks bro. I know a lot of these fish no one really knows. It's not set in stone nor do i plain on doing all of these there just all options that im considering at the moment. i only want 5 fish max in the tank. The Catalina gobies don't count against my fish count because there soooooo small. I took the time to google pic's and post them here so everyone can get a idea what fish im talking about.

im likeing those anthias, only thing i hate about them is there feeding habits. I can never feed my fish as often as they need it lol.

 

[Fish Finder]

If you ask me i say the sure in's for the tank on the list will be

Deep water anthias
Flame box fish
Catalina gobies

Out of the 9 fish listed what 5 would you do in this tank? I am interested to see what people say.

 

[BIGgourami]

if those are the trunk fish i did in fact see at the LFS they get HUGE.. too big for a 75 much less in a pair

if it were MY tank i think i'd have to go with the blue devil, flame box, truncate bfly (instead of the banded) and the gobies
the bandit angel initially, to me, doesn't look at that good but seems like the kind of fish that could grow on ya
