I've been meaning to update this thread forever. The 75G that I started with very quickly turned into a 185G with the 70G becoming the sump! Also....So much for a FOWLR tank!!! Funny how that goes . Anyways I eventually turfed the CF's and went to Halides. I built the stand and canopy which houses two 400W Mogul 20,000K Coralvue's and two 165W Super Actinic 6ft T12's as well as 4 1W Lumileds Blue LEDS for moonlights. It worked out really well. The tank has been running 14 months now and I'm pretty pleased. The coralvue's are getting yanked and I've picked up XM's for the next round. I hear great things about them.

So a couple of tankshots to get this current.....

Biggs,

Those corals look awsome. I am new to the world of corals, in the picture that focuses on the right side of the tank what is the green coral in the top left hand corner next to the staghorn? Is that a xenia? I was hoping to put something like that in my tank once it is up and running.
