The 75 is a great size tank. That's a pretty anemone; now both your clowns have one of their own!

Thanks! My tank is defiantly a tank in progress!

Tank is looking good. Keep that rock work minimal or you will end up getting a wall line mine. I just spend 3 hours rearranging rock in my tank and only removed 1 rock in the process.

I did get it all to fit a little better though.

Just ordered new T5 Bulbs. I went with two ATI Blue + bulbs, one KZ fiji Purple and one KZ New Gen. I'm hoping to get a good balance of colors since i'm only able to run four bulbs.

Tank is looking good! I hope you will take another FTS on the 20th so we can see the progression since you got your frags from Chris.

I added two of the ATI coral+ to my 6 bulb fixture the last bulb change and I am really liking them. Never heard of the New Gen bulb but I am going to go check it out online.

From what I have read is that the New Gen bulb is like the ATI AquaBlue Special but not as blue. I wanted a little whiter coloration since i would have the two Blue + bulbs.[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif] [/FONT]

Looks like your tank is coming along nicely! Do you have any current full tank shots?

Rothgar · Oct 17, 2013

I'm going to do one tonight after the bulb change.

Nice! Does it look that blue in person? I wouldn't mind a bit, I like a blue looking tank but I know my phone makes mine looks way bluer in photos that in person.

Why don't you have your heater in the sump?
