Looking great as usuall. Very jeleous, I would love to have a 180. We need some updated FTS! When do you think you will be adding the corals?
As soon as I get my calcium and dkh stable for a week then they will be moved over. I will take a FTS later but not much has changed. I am having a little heating problems. Not bad though. Only 2 degrees throughout the day. I think I will just add another fan or two.

i would really love to have a 180.
It is great how wide it is to aquascape. IMO it is the perfect size. I can not image any bigger cause of the fact it would be a PIA to get in a move stuff around but this is very easy to work with.

Yeah the bangaii has the 75 to himsel right now. I did not move him over cause he was getting picked on by mom and dad. He is alot more active in the 75 and eating more.

Hey bro what lights do you have over the 75, and was the sps happy?
6x 110w VHO. IME VHO are MUCH better then t-5. They were very happy under VHO an the color was amazing. people say they run hotter then t5 but if you over drive the t5 they are the same.

Do you think SPS and a clam or 2 would do GOOD under the 6x54W t5 fixture pro..individ relfectors?
Yes but if you overdrive the bulbs will go bad faster. Vho with icecap ballast would be better then t5 IMO.

I moved everything over. Everyone seems very happy but a few SPS. I am going to move some of the corals around but right now I am just keeping them low so they can get used to the light. But all the rics will stay on the sand bed. And I added a extra fan in the canopy to keep the temp down. Right now it is not fluxuating more then 1 degree throughout the day. But this fan should fix that. I also ordered 3 carpenter flasher wrasses. They are all juviniles so I am hoping one will turn into a male and the other two into females. I will QT them in my 29g for a while though. They should be here tomorrow or the next day. Until then here are som pix.

It is 99% lace rock from a store here in ohio. He gets shipments of a few thousand pounds at a time. He gets some really really nice peices.
And I got my carpenter wrasses today. One died but the other two seem ok so far. Hope they make it.

I will check now. Yeah I started liking rics and zoas but then started liking SPS more and more. My 180 will be ALL SPS but my rics on the bottom and I might keep my tyree green leather in there. I will be getting alot of SPS soon. Right now I am working on buying CUC. I have gotten a few peices here and there from the guy I work for. But the 10th he is going to CA to cherry pick corals from a few whole salers. So this means alot of nice acros for the people that work for him (me) LOL. My 75g is looking pretty nice as a frag tank. I ordered those three flasher wrasses but only one made it through shipping. But the one is doing great in my QT. I am going to order two more sunday for tuesday delivery.
