my 75 gallon

[bigkai]

The only thang i dont like about the new bulbs is i have lost most of my mushrooms. And even tho some of the corals are brighter in color but they look smaller. but other than
that i love the AIT bulbs their great. Im just loveing how fast the lps and sps and even the soft coral are growing.

well i got a new ATO and aqua lifter pump for my top off im now using brightwells kalk mixed in my top off water and every thang is looking great

i drilled 2 holes in my bucket and added a water line so i can see how much water is left. so i dont have to move the bucket as much and it dont stir up my kalk.
