Thread: 75gallon upgrade

    Default 75gallon upgrade

    I am new to MAAST but not to the hobby. I'm from Beaumont and recently I upgraded from a 29gallon to a 75 gallon with a 20g long sump. I built my own stand and sump and used all dry live rock that I bleached and then cycled in a brute trash can for 3 weeks before setup. I started the tank on the 22nd of august and my parameters leveled out on the 28th so I added my clowns the next day. All way going well when last night I was moving rocks in my 29 when I dropped one and cracked the side glass and had to immediately move everything to my 75g. So far everything is looking great just tested water and nitrates are up just a hair but its looking good.
