[J4Life]

Okay I really do not like the way I have mine aquascaped right now so I was hoping that I could get some ideas from other 75 gallon reef tanks owners. Here is mine as of now.

This is going to chanve I can guarantee it. For the better too!

So let's fill this thread with pictures people come on!

75g, about 85 pounds of LR, only about 6 months old (lots more rock to come). Its still very "sterile" looking. My cleanup crew is keeping the coralline from getting built up on the back.

No filtration but for skimming and UV - 20g sump/fuge (I just removed the HOB 2 weeks ago).

Only thing I'm dealing with now is cyano, because I'm using tapwater for top-offs and PWC's, which has a 0.5ppm PO4.

I've just gotten 'trates down to zero, so I'm starting to shop for corals, but I need to work on adding more lighting too.

Nice pictures everyone. I figured that we can use this thread to document our experiences with our 75 gallons and list equipment and anything else that comes to mine. I am pretty sure that the 75 gallon setup is the most common still here on RC and it tends to get over looked due to the larger tanks.

dmbnpj,

That is a lot of xenia, so how much do you have now? Any chance to get some from you?

Thanks,
Bill

p/s - I just purchase and new Octopus NW-200 skimmer and should get it this week. I currently have a 20 gallon long sump and will be switching that out as well for a 30 gallon long soon.

Lights - 2x250 watt 10k XM's on ARO electronic ballast, 2 UVL T5 Super Actinic 54 watts overdriven to85 watts on IceCap 660 ballast

Bill,
Sorry no more. I only have one stalk left. I fragged it out and gave a lot of it away on here after that picture.
Im going to be concentrating more on SPS now.
