calling all 75 gallon

[ericunderwater]

We'll I was planning on doing a 120 gallon tank.But it will be finacially easier to just restart my 75. So I need some motivation....lets see them 75 gallon tanks. Try and include your set up too>

Well I don't have a 75 mine is a 72g Bow but it's close enough that I thought I would reply. Here are a few pics of my tank.

I have a 20g Tall that is a dedicated fuge under the tank. An ASM G4X recirculating skimmer and a 55g frag tank that is plumbed into the system as well. I use LR, LS my fuge and the skimmer as my means of filtration. The tank has been up and running for 3 years now and is doing very well. Lighting: Dual 175MH (10K XMs) 220w VHO Actinics and 108W T5 Super Blues.

Hope that helps you some.

Ziggy tank looks great.
Really like the look of the extended canopy.
Any othe pics of the setup?

Here is my 75

Standard 75. 2 X 175 watt Iwasaki 15 K's and 2 x 110 watt actinic VHO's. Euroreef CS 6-1 skimmer and a 39 gallon rubbermade sump.

Well I don't want to tread all over the thread but yes I do have tons of pics of my setup. The stand and canopy I built myself. I built them to accomidate up to a 120 (4' tank) so that is the idea behind the extended canopy. With the bowfront I had to make legs for the front that extended past the ends of the tank. So I wrapped them in rope and there you have it.

I like Froggy's tank, I had a lot of lace rock in my tank and took it out cause it was to crowded. At this point we have the rock on both side's and a display sand bed in the middle. We've hd tank 2 yrs and a lot of our corals are fairly new. WE started with a few fish and the LPS that came on the live rock. I had a problem with mithrax crabs about 6 months ago and I ripped the whole tank apart and dug them out. I pulled 8 of those stinkers out of my tank! When I put it back together I put in a few rocks at a time to avoid spiking the tank. At this point I really like it more than before. We have 2 caves, one on each side of the tank and the fish love those. http://www.drekster.com/myrescues/salttank.htm
Pictures are there. I started adding the corals about 6 months ago so most of what I have is new.

Sorry I didn't mean to hijack the thread.

Hope to have my 75 up and running soon.

Does anyone use vho only for lighting?

 

[Ziggy953]

I know of a guy that uses only VHO lighting but I don't think he is a memeber here. Is there a reason you want to use VHO only? If I couldn't have MH I would go with T5 over VHO. JMO.

 

[leshampton]

Here's mine.

4X54W T-5's, 20 long sump, CSS125
