Thanks! I'm really happy with them so far. Good polyp extension.

Added 2 more T5s to my hood today, for a total of 6. Added ATI Coral+ & Blue+ bulbs. This should improve the growth of my SPS corals.

Wow!! Your tank is looking amazing! I'm really liking the colors you're getting and all the bright zoas

There are some really bright orangey ones on the right hand side toward the back... what are those?

Just found your build, I am jealous that you have a 75 oceanic. That is my favorite tank. I was looking for the exact tank befor I set mine up.
Great build and great progress.

Thanks!! It's got a ton of scratches on the inside of the glass, but I got a great deal on it and I do really like it. My first tank was a 110g Oceanic.

Thanks for all of the replies!! I'm pretty happy with my tank so far. I need to add more fish to increase my nitrates, but in the meantime I'm going to dose some Potassium Nitrate (Spectricide Stump Remover). Hopefully that will delight my acros!

Just took this using my tank cam in night vision mode and thought it looked cool.

This one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CP28AE8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't recommend it because you can't share the feed.

Ahhhh, even next cam is like that, unless one buys the service. Thank you for the info, I have a nest and would like to setup the tank cam

Just an update: I decided to increase my nitrates from 0 up to <5. I've been dosing Spectracide Stump Remover for the last week. I also bought the Red Sea Algae Control Test Kit, which has nitrate & phosphate tests. I really like these new test kits. The color wheel makes it really easy to judge the color. My corals are definitely liking the increased nitrates. I'm seeing more color & growth on them already, and I've seen a jump in Alk & Calc usage. (Increased daily dosing of both from 20ml to 40 ml)
