[TaTeR ToT]

ok, i have =everything needed to run this tank.

new tank specs

2x Eheim 2217's
1x Koralia 4
1x koralia 3
48" Dual Bulb T12 Light running 10k's

Substrate
100 lbs of Pool Filter Sand

Rocks
~125lbs of Texas Holy Rock
seperated into 2x seperate formations.

i will be adding 20x Tropheus Moorii 'Kazumba' Juvies

Going in the the right direction it sounds like.

Juvies are really more forgiving than adults in a 75g.....I learned the hard way.

Your looking good :) Show pictures when you can !!

Looks good but where's the wet dry?

[TaTeR ToT]

not using one.

i may get a proclear 125 with a mag 7, but thats only when the kazumba reach around 3-3.5".
i am getting 20 of them, but i may add 5 more at a later date, or next pay check:)

Very nice looking. Good luck!

Rocks look better away from the glass, although the left side looks funny to me, restack it buddy. also try and move the intake hoses to the corners vertically for a cleaner look. My 5 cents.

nice pics...good luck when you stock it

I would put a background because the hoses and wires in the back makes it look sloppy. And if you decide to put 25, you mind as do all of them at once. I read on articles adding tank mates later on, only stresses them out and they most likely won't fit in.

i have been trying, but i cant get the look im going for, i will probably add more rock.
the golden kazumba's are on their way

soon very soon

i just put the blue background on.

the problem with the intake thats horizontal right now, is it doesnt have that u shape on the back.
so it goes down into the sand.
im getting a new normal intake and spraybar next friday, aka payday.
the koralia are nuts, they creat like a vortex in the center of the tank and create a nice undertoe.

for the other 75g, i want the same filtration wise, but i want to do one of those Maxijet 1200's with the sureflow mod
thanks for showing me those, those things are mean!
if i decide to not use substrate in that tank, i might use on mj12 sureflow one each side
do you think that would be to much flow?
i want to do like ek and go with crashing waves

also, i need some general advise on these fishes.

lee who im getting them from said they have been eating nls 1mm slightly crushed.

i know i need to wait 24hours before the first feeding.
but how much should i feed?
and how often?

sorry for all the ?'s, its been a while since i last kept trophs.

i plan on doing 80+% wc's once a week.
thats what i did with my old colonies of dubs and bembas, and they did well.

those old setups i had didnt have any substrate, so it was easy to vacum.
how do i vacum sand?
do i just skim over the top of the sand until i get whats there?

thats probably a dumb ?, but i had eartheaters, and they did that for me,lol
