50 vs 75 - Some questions

[nmprisons]

I am deciding between getting a 50 and a 75 for my next tank. I was hoping to go without a calcium reactor (and just dose 2-part if at all possible). Anyone have success doing that on a tank of these size?

Anyone else have any advice on this decision?

Definately go with the 75. More space for all that LPS.

I am actually going to do a half LPS/Ricordia half SPS on my new tank ... what do you do to keep the calcium up on your 75?

The main thing I do is consistant water changes. Every 2 weeks. On the off week, I check my Ca and Alk levels and dose Kent liquid calcium if I need to bring it up a bit. Most weeks I don't dose anything.

Kent liquid probably isn't the perfect thing to dose, but it works for me.
