75 peninsula ,9 months progress FTS

[kevensquint]

Hi, so looking back at pics when I upgraded from a 60 cube to this 75 on Feb. 14 of this year, I was so surprised of the growth in only 9 months. I wanna share a couple of before and after shots. Lighting in the older pics was under warmer T5's. The recent pics I have more actinics and blues, hence the bluish hue. My main lighting are MH 250's , Radium and Phoenix. Thanks

I was going to ask you earlier to see more pictures of your tank then I stumbled upon this. Your growth is fast, I like the variety of fish! Keep up the good work it's going to be packed in another 9 months!

Thanks for the kind words. I blame going with solid proven lighting. Tried Radion for a year once over my previous 60 . Went back to MH/T5 and won't look back.

Excellent lighting, and natural nutrient export via remote DSB and chaeto. The tank is BB, the skimmer in the sump is basically the only "filtration". No gfo, no carbon..and 7% once per month WC. Its pretty simple, no coloring additives so less unknowns to worry about.
