"Here are a few pictures of my 75 Gallon Reef Tank made by All Glass and set up on September 11th, 2001. I decided to keep it as simple as possible. The tank has no sump, overflow boxes, chiller, etc. It has two Powersweep powerheads, a Prism skimmer, a Magnum 350 with no media except for the occasional carbon/poly filter mesh bag. It has slightly more than 100 lbs. of live rock. It has 550 Watts of VHO lighting (14 hours actinic, 12 white). As for dosing, I use CaribSea's Aragamilk daily with Kent Marine's Iodine. Every few weeks, I'll add a capful of Coral Vital by Marc Weiss."

"Currently, the tank houses 4 Green Chromis, 1 Sailfin Tang, 1 Mandarin Goby, 2 Gold Stripe Maroon Clowns, and 3 Bar Gobies. Also, there are 2 Cleaner Shrimps (with babies throughout the tank) and 1 Peppermint Shrimp. Plus, there are about 60 small hermits and about 30 snails."

"On the coral side, there is more Xenia in the tank than necessary. I have sold more than enough cuttings to pet stores and fellow hobbyists. Also, there are three leathers, 4 Euphyllias (2 hammers and 2 frogspawns), 1 Open Brain, 1 Closed Brain, 1 T. Maxima, 1 T. Crocea, 1 Acropora piece that was sold as a scrap, 2 Fungia disks, 1 piece of Dendronephthya, 1 Nephthya, Briarum attempting to cover everything that the Xenia doesn't, loads of mushrooms (hairy, green-striped, Ricordea, red, purple, etc.), button polyps and yellow polyps."

"There are also two Bubble-tipped Anemones and Grape Caulerpa lining the entire top back of the tank."

"I feed the tank once daily, alternating between a cube of frozen brine shrimp or blood worms and marine bites. I feed the tang a small strip of dried algae daily. All of the other fish actually love the scraps from the dried algae as the tang rips at it. I perform a five gallon bucket water change every week."
