75 Gal Build

I actually started a blog to document this journey. Is there a way to update this post as I post new articles there?

I like the blog! One thing to think about with the aiptasia, since you removed the rock to dry out, you may want to bleach that rock. Aiptasia has been know not to die that way. They are evil

Thanks for the advise. Bleach it now or after it dries? Just let it sit in bleach for a day and then water for a day?

You can do it now. Give it at least 4 days in the bleach. 1:10 ratio (1 gallon of bleach to 10 gallons of water) Rinse with RODI. Place it in the sun to dry and it will remove any left over bleach.

Bleach will kill anything in the first 2 hour.. I would go half bleach half water.... The rock you see in my tank went that route

I’ve been keeping the blog updated but figured I’d share some pics as well.

When you say half bleach half water, for a 75 gallon tank, are you saying 37.5 gallons of bleach, with 37.5 gallons of water? Seems like a lot..

I think 1:10 ratio that @diana a mentioned is probably plenty.

I mean take the rock out put it in a container and then take out to the sun for a few days
