Just wanted to post a pic of my new tank. I had a 55 gallon, but just finished transfering everything over to this 75 Gallon. I'm so excited I just had to post a pic.

I actually have a VHO system with 4-110 watt lights on it, this picture was taken with the lights off becuase they were affecting the camera's flash.

I bought it from Crystal Clear Aquatics on Flood. I live off Lindsey. I got a really good deal on it. Just added a Seabe (how ever it's spelled) and some live rock yesterday.

OMG! we are neighbors I live off Lindsey too! Just kidding Lindsey runs all the way across town. We live in the housing area south of Lindsey and McGee. We certainly could have run into each other at Crystal Clear though. I got my first tank from them. Actually, I get most of my stuff from them. I'm in there about 3 times a week! IMO if you are buying fish they are the absolute best in the metro area. I'll be going by there tomorrow but, I'm getting fed up with the road construction around here.
Did you use everything from your 55 in your 75? I hope your tank isn't too young for a sebae.

I used everything from my 55 in my 75. I had a sump tank on my 55, so I had about 65-70 gallons of water to use. I got with David from Crystal Clear for advise on the best way to move, but basically I transfered all the water and sand to the new tank, then topped it off with new salt water resulting in something like a weekly water change (65-70 gals of "mature" water with about 10 gallons of "new" water). Waited a few days then I added my sump and again added new water to top it off. All of the fish and corals seems to be doing great. We probably have run into each other, I or my wife are in Crystal Clear at least once a week

I used an overflow box I got from a store in town and an Amiricle sump tank. I'm not sure which models they are because I bought them used. As a return pump I have a Mag 7. I used PVC pipes for the spary bar. .

Here's the overflow box. The power head is sitting in front of it, so it's hard to see.

Finally, heres the spray bar. It used to run all the way across the the top of the tank on the 55 gal. This is only half of the actual bar. I removed the other half when I set the 75 gal up becuase it wouldn't fit right the way it was. I just haven't made it to the store to get more PVC to set up. It puts out a lot of pressure and moves the water around quite well.
