Alright, I've gotten sick and tired of my 25 gallon tall reef for numerous reasons...so it's time to get off my rear and do something about it. (With a little help of course…)
I have a 75 gallon tank with a 30 gallon 'sump' sitting in my entrance way that needs to be setup...problem? I have no idea how to do the plumbing.
I’ve got all the parts (Pics of them in DIY somewhere I think); I just need someone with the knowledge to help me put it together.
I've never done a sump system before, and rather than flooding my entrance way, I'd like to do this safely.
I'm sure my fish and corals would much prefer the 75 since they are preeetty crowded right now...(problem with buying mounted corals are they come with rock...rock takes up room..and a 25 gallon tall doesn't have that much space for it when you started with 32 pounds of live rock years ago.)
I'm also wondering if anyone can help me speed up this cycling process...with established live sand to sell or cured live rock that has already been through your systems etc. Water, whatever...(Without evil hitchhikers of course….)
So...in short, if anyone has the knowledge, lives nearby and wouldn't mind lending this little reefer a hand, she would really appreciate it.
Anyways, this little reefer has to go aquascape her rock all over again...since last night I had to tear up the tank to find an evil hitchhiker. Then I've got to do some coursework...before heading to someones house to help them setup a freshwater tank
(I'm setting up a better home for their angel fish...which are currently in a 10 gallon (grrrrrr) but being moved to a 33.)
