Hi guys just wanted to share some pictures of the new 75G I set up a while ago. Things are going well and I finished plumbing the two tanks together and also plumbed in a refugium with a DSB where I plan to have only macro algae and also act as a pod farm for eventually housing some Mandarins.
The 40G below has a Mag 9 inside pumping up to the 75G above and the 15G refuge to the right and both drain back into the 40G. The 75G has an eshoppes HOB overflow and the 15G is drilled. My first plumb job but I think it went fairly decently but I didnt realize the cost of doing plumbing for such a small job. Really underestimated it when I started.
I went back to T5's with a used Tek Light I bought from someone here. I didnt realize that good quality bulbs could make such a difference in color until I got this one. It has KZ fiji purple and ATI bulbs in it and the purple really stands out from the el cheapo eBay fixture I have running and I think its mostly due to the KZ fiji bulb.
Now Im just going to grow out some of the corals and let things cruise.
Enjoy the pics
