My 75 Gallon SPS Dominant Tank

[djapel1]

Here is my 75 gallon tank. I've become obsessed with SPS and just love seeing new growth on my corals... it makes my day. Anyway here's my tank.

DIY RapidLED light fixture
40 gallon Sump
Bubble Magus BM180 Skimmer
MP40 and multiple Koralias for flow on the bottom (BB tank)



I'll post a few individual coral pics later on. The picture is a bit washed out in blue because it was taken from an iphone. Let me know what you think!

Semi updated FTS. The frogspawn near the center is gone and a few corals were placed other places.

I'm having a little trouble with my orange digitata. The polyps are always mostly retracted but it still keeps its color. Any ideas? I'm going to try and move it down and see what happens. I don't seem to have much luck with orange digi, but green grows like a weed.

Been a long time since I've updated this thread. I've tank has been rearranged a little to accomodate more corals and a better look. I purchased and set up a Reef Angel Plus Controller and just having the temperature controller is a god send. I didn't realize how much my tank fluctuated until I got it. Now everything is really stable.

I'm going to start dosing kalk in my ATO soon. I'll be going the cheap route and using pickling lime.

I'll update with pictures soon.

Apparently I screwed things up. My alk was low so I used Reef Code B to raise it, along with using kalk in my ATO to keep it stable. I think I raised it too fast because I've lost a coral and done some damage to a couple others. I have since quit dosing both and will let my tank stabilize before I reevaluate.
