So I have been setting up my 75g for about the past month or so. I of course used all live stuff but had to wait for my t5 light to arrive and it got stuck in Texas with their storm. So about 3-4 days ago I finally was able to put all my coral in the 75g. I don't know how I fit it all in my RSM  Anyway we set it up as a peninsula tank so we can view from three sides. I love it and it is in my living room so I find myself watching it when I am trying to watch a show LOL  Anyway here are a few tank shots, I will get some better ones soon and maybe a pic of the room so you can see what it looks like:)    I will get a list together of what is in there soon as well. I went with a 4 bulb t5 and am waiting for my ATI bulbs to arrive. Forgot to post my new favorite fish, this is Seven for obvious reasons LOL  ------------- Jackie Stuver "wait these aren't the happy Hawaiians oompa doompa godly heaven on your face zoas?

Nice set up. You've got some show pieces in there. I love the "clean" look- still very healthy, but you obviously take the time for maintenance. ------------- A government strong enough to give you everything you want, is powerful enough to take everything you have. |

I have to say Jackie with all the tanks that you've setup over the past two years this is really turning out to be your best by far. I am in love with everything in this tank. The rockwork, the fish, the corals, the peninsula style. Did I mention the rockwork and peninsula style? Because I REALLY like those. : ) ------------- None at the moment Soon: 72 Gallon Bowfront |

Looks great, nice color! I get confused with all the tanks you have going/changes you make....is this the setup where you added ATI bulbs recently? Or is this a MH setup?
I am thinking this is a t5 only tank if I remember correctly....I am interested in what your final bulb combo/order is for this setup....or correct me and let me know what MH setup you are running on this tank?

I know I change things a lot I didn't like just the t5 I missed the shimmer from halides so this is running a 400w halide and 2 54w t5 with ATI bulbs to give me the blue I wanted. I am only running two tanks right now, this one and my 34g RSM seahorse tank. Everyone else thanks so much, I am loving this tank! I have it in a room I can watch it all the time and I have selected some of my favorite corals and fish to fill it:) Jeremy yes that yellow tang is a healthy fish, he is a pig!!! He has also made it so my rabbitfish doesn't hide all the time they are the best of friends and hang out together all day. Here is my fish list: Yellow tang scribbled rabbitfish midas blenny blue star female leopard wrasse potters leopard wrasse blue side fairy wrasse melalunarus wrasse I lost all my clowns to the ich outbreak I had:( So I would like to get two to replace them just waiting until the ich is gone for the most part. It also had 4 chromis I finally caught two of them and am working on catching the other two to remove:) ------------- Jackie Stuver "wait these aren't the happy Hawaiians oompa doompa godly heaven on your face zoas?

| Very nice Jackie. After looking at your new setup, and imagining what you could have done with the tank I have in my living room, I hope I can do it justice. Your pictures look great. Maybe we can hook up again and discuss camera things. I am clueless, but I have a good camera. |

So as many of you know I have moved my seahorses into this tank and sold off the larger non compatible tankmates. I will get some updated pics of the whole tank soon and the horses in there they are loving the extra space! I turn the pumps off when feeding and feed the other fish at the opposite end so there is no competition, however my female horse goes and eats with all the other fish lol. Anyway here are a couple pics of some new corals I have gotten:)     I also picked up three of these yellow line chromis the other day they are very cool:   ------------- Jackie Stuver "wait these aren't the happy Hawaiians oompa doompa godly heaven on your face zoas?

Living Safari 2 in Sandy they only had the three of them, they were $5.99 each. They cruise with my two regular green chromis almost all day. They are pretty cool IMO. ------------- Jackie Stuver "wait these aren't the happy Hawaiians oompa doompa godly heaven on your face zoas? I dont want them then. lol!" Ksmart |
