What are the dimensions because that looks alot bigger than a 75g.

Steve

fishes2889 · Oct 19, 2006

Oh yea and how do you like the T5's?? Which company?

Steve

rocko918 · Oct 19, 2006

Standard aga 75 gallon. I wish it was bigger.

T5's
I have 3 10k current usa bulbs
1 Pure Actinic 54W 48 Giesemann
1 Aqua Blue + 48 Giesemann

2 are running on an IC 430
3 are on workhorse 7

I like the t5's for me it was great upgrade from vho's and pc's. I can keep alot more sps as well. I have had great growth but i do think that is mostly the kalk drip. They are perfect for my setup. When i do upgrade my tank i will most likely go with a hm with t5 setup.

I really like T5's. I am currnetly setting up a 33g Long and hope to put my 48in fixture on there, 4x 54 watts on a 33g!! It might be overkill.........

I think im always going to go with T5's.....

Awesome Tank!
I really like the aquascaping. Is the fish in the second pic towards the top left a midas blenny, kind of looks like one from the face?

rocko918 - nice set-up! You have had some really nice growth. The zoos I got from you are awesome! I need to take some pics and get them posted.

rocko918 · Oct 20, 2006

AngieN- I would love to see the pic of them. I want to make sure they did ok for you.

Chris- that is a Midas Blenny, Very cool fish, tons of personality.
