75 Gallon Bowfront Saltwater Tank

Yes, that is Finding Nemo in the background my kids were watching it while I filmed my tank....
This is my 75 gallon Bowfront saltwater tank. I use to own a 75 gallon regular tank, but I ended up selling that equipment and upgrading all my livestock and corals to a 150 gallon square tank. That was nice for awhile but It was too big for me so I decided to go back down to a 75 gallon but this time I went with a bowfront and I restarted it from scratch not fully done yet but its getting their.

Livestock: Small blue tang, small yellow tang, baby porcupine puffer, cleaner wrasse, 3'' Harlequin Tusk, orange clownfish and a black clownfish, orange and white garden eel, orange starfish, I use to have a naso tang but I sold it. I regret selling it so might buy another depends, and a red spotted sleeper goby.

Corals: Elegant coral, torch coral, goniopora coral, 3 pulsing xenia trees, purple and green tube anemone, red and blue spotted mushrooms, and green and red zoos. Will be adding more corals but that will be all for the livestock. I decided to buy all my livestock small as I like to see them grow up.
Equipment: 2 koralia #3 powerheads, overflow, 30gallon sump, ASM G4 Protein Skimmer. 48'' coralife light-2x65watt actinics, 2x65 watt 10000k, with 4 3/4watt moonlights, 3 seperate switches, built in ballast and cooling fans. Approx. 75lbs of liverock and 80lbs of argonite sand.

Levels- Nitrite-0ppm, Ammonia-0ppm, High Ph- 8.2, Nitrate-0ppm. This has been the best tank yet that I have owned the levels in this tank are all perfect, just where they are suppose to be I have had this for about 6 months now. Corals are growing great fish are all healthy.Will keep everyone udated on any changes... I normally feed all my livestock every other day. And I spot feed my corals not every day but once in awhile.

HI what kind of overflow box u are using? is it cheap or expensive? I really want to have a sump for my reef tank so how do I make it lesser and cheaper to have a sump and a oveflow box plus a return pump I really need one too? my tank has so much algae in it? so how can I stop it growing in my tank?

@tvshowuploader3 Hi when I bought this setup It came with it but if you look up overflow boxes, I am pretty sure they range from 130 and up. Now for the return you need to buy the pump that will push the water from the sump up the tubing and into the display tank, the pump might cost abit more then the overflow it depends on the brand of pump you buy. Its pretty simple actually. I like it better then just a filter and having to drill the tank.

Hi, I have posted a new video quality isnt that great but you see the red bubble anemone that i have added to my tank plus I added a green star polyp coral as well. The sump helps with the water movement in the tank it mimics the ocean, their is always flow and current. I like the sump better then filters, I have a wonderfull skimmer in their as well cost me 500 for it. The overflow I actually bought it with the tank it came as a package deal. All I have r compacts and my corals are doing great.
