Greg's 75g Rebuild

Couldn't you just add a gate or ball valve?
You have 2 drain lines I would add a valve on one of them!kinda like the Herbie overflow
From what I've read the higher the water falls in your overflow box the noisier it gets.

Looks good, get some siporax or marine pure to compensate for the lack of live rock...just a thought.

Hoping it will teach the anthias' about pellets, but not holding my breath
I've just recently started soaking pellets in frozen food ... any tips would be appreciated

Really, please help me get these anthias' eating anything other than frozen

I always got mine eating pellets by starting on frozen cyclopeeze(sp?) and when offering that id offer pellets for the other fish. I was using Omega One micro marine pellets. (At the time my clowns mouths were too small for the 1mm pellets so i kept the micro on hand and fed that daily.) Both the cyclop and pellets would blow around the tank and the fish would just start grbbing whatever went past, after a few days they stopped spitting out the pellets.
Never bothered offering frozen to the group of red fairy anthias i recently purchased. They went right onto 1mm pellets. Pigs....
The lyretail group i had learned to eat pellets really quick. Less then a week i want to say...

Tanks looking good Greg! Well corals... need fts! And some wavey coral like euphyllia

Thanks Gina. I've been crushing 1mm pellets. Tonight I'm trying a soak in some fish oil and garlic. Then I mixed them into the frozen stuff I make.
Just waiting a few more minutes for it to soak really well.
Fingers crossed.

Sorry that happened Greg, quite disheartening that you took all the necessary precautions, yet still something managed to slip by, very unfortunate.

Hopefully the remaining livestock will pull through.

Just read your posts. That really sucks Greg to lose so many fish, especially when you are doing the right thing and quarantining. And I am wining about a bit of phosphates!!! Hope that you get your tank back on track.

Sorry about the fish. I had a heater blow all my fish somehow survived but all my sps went bye bye.
