Hi i'm new to this forum, I have been posting on sask reef for quite a while and was informed to check out this site. I was amazed to see the activity on this site, and am always interested in some feed back. My tank is a 75 gallon corner bow, originaly the stock light was ok but as my reef grew so did the lighting demand. The original lighting was 2x36" t-5s as well as 2x 9" t-5s in the rear corner. The pump and filter is a fluval 405 canister ....yes old school lol.. There is roughtly 50lb LS as well as roughly 100lb LR not including the 30Lb in the canister filter to add to filtration. Due to the common problem with an old school method of the canister becoming a nitrate trap the canister is cleaned bi-weekly and carbon is run two weeks a month. I have a coral life 220 hang on back protein skimmer, as well as three power heads to airrate the surface water and create substantial flow. I will post pics!!! The lighting has been upgraded too in the rear corner is a 175 20k Mh, an additional row of 2x 36" t-5s with figi and 22k blue, as well as the front set of t-5s have been changed to 14k 36" t-5s all t-5s are High output. I will post pics of then and now as well as all the corals and fish.
Hope no one noded off during the story

, more to come.
