Hi everyone, my name is Ryan and just found out about the forum like two weeks ago from a coworker, been reading a ton on here since. Let start off with a 75g gallon tank sitting around collecting dust in the basement. Hm...why not give saltwater it a try. So here we go ordered load of stuffs online thanks to prime amazon.com and drilled the tank. Two 1" overflow and two 2 3/4" return. Made a stand and now im in second weeks of cycling. Tank is 75 gals with about 80 lbs of 1/3 live rocks and some dry rock with 120 lbs live sand. Sump is 20-25 gallons with reef octopus 150 skimmer and two filter socks. Filled with rodi water I added a jumbo shrimp (amonia is about 2-3ppm) and few days later I added a bio-spira and look like ammonia is now 0 nitrite is about 5ppm and nitrate is 20ppm (tested this morning). Added some chaeto (big thanks to Albert) last nite to the sump, so I guess now is just the waiting game til the tank is fully cycle.
