I have noticed two things though NanoGurl, your not really doing Nano's anymore, your hitting the big time now with MH and getting above the 30-40 gallon mark.
The other thing is that, your like Wilson from Home Improvement. We never really see your face in all the pictures of you working on the tank, your face is never in view.

So true, but you know why she does this ???
All of the single guys would want to steal her away from her boyfriend. They think .......Hmmm... A nice woman who looks good and is into reefing.... I'd like to go out with her
Anyhow, just joking and the tank is looking great Nano. I built a 60 gallon cube (24 x 24 x 24) and have the Solaris LED lights on them. I personally love them (especially where it simulates cloudy days, moon cycles, etc). I live in Florida so the lower power draw and especially the lower heat produced were a big deal for me.
Now that being said, I would say that they are more powerful than PCs, but less than MH.

Looking good. I have a 75g too and have considered upgrading to MH or possibly T-5's. Did you consider T-5 as an option? I see you went with the 150W - Would you recommend the same to me? What kind of bulbs do you have and do you plan on using any actinic supplementation?
And what about that Liveaquaria update........ (as if enought hasn't been posted for one day)

Neat thread!
Great pics!
Nice dog! Shiba Inu, perhaps? I have an Akita.
Sugar Gliders are neat. I breed and show chinchillas. Sugar Gliders, IIRC, are illegal here in GA.

Nice part about that "light stand" is that you can run the cords inside the pvc.
Looks Great!!!

haha I've had a few RC offers
Thanks
Yea, the light control options would be a lot of fun to play with. I think Solaris is very cool and I'm excited about the LED future. How are your corals doing under it?

I would def not go with 250's unless you are keeping a lot of high light corals. Also depends on what type of canopy you have, but the 150's are more then enough I think.
I did consider T5's a lot. But in the end, I really like the shimmering with MH's and the look that you just can't get with anything else I don't think.
We thought about adding two T5's for actinic supplementation, but instead we switched to Phoenix 14ks and that was enough of a change for us for now. It's a perfect balance of brightness and blue, without the 20k look. Very happy with the Phoenix bulbs.

Saturday Update!
We got the pvc stand painted black last night and it dried overnight. It came out pretty good and looks a lot better then the white did. I also bought black chains but I didn't buy enough to match and get rid of the silver chains in the pic.
My tank is now pimped out. RC, Pimp my tank! lol (does anyone get this)
Back in place.
Higher view.
Front tank shot.

The "R" to the "C" ---officially been pimped!:lol: The light frame looks great and I hope that your corals colour back up soon. Great job!
I know what you mean about your dog. I spent about an hour today brushing out the winter undercoat from my two Black Lab/Husky mixes. When I was finished, it looked like a dog had exploded in my backyard!:eek1:
