Default 55 gallon No more

This weekend I upgraded my 55 gal. to a 75 gal.
I was given this tank and was told if I wanted it I had to
come get it this weekend. I had to tear it down (FW) and all the
crap they had on it ( 5 canister filters and 3 pumps ). I started tearing
this tank down at noon Saturday when I got home I started on my tank
and had the 75 up and running with all my LS and LR and 70% of my water. I was done by 3:00AM and on Sunday the coral and fish went in around 8:00PM. I had to buy one bag of sand Saturday and that was all. Right now I am soooo tried I just want to go home. No pictures yet but will be coming soon; the tank looks empty now.

I never did like the 55 gal for a reef so now I'm happy.

Congratulations!

It's always nice to have a much larger tank, especially one that has more front to back width. I have always found 55 gal tanks very difficult to aquascape, because they are only 12 or 13 inches wide.

You have to look real hard but your baby was in the FTS of the 55.
Here is a picture with it circle.




Dave the 55 was only 12 in. wide.
