started my setup

well all as i promised i finally started the set up of my 75g salt water tank as it sits right now i have 100 lbs of sand i used RO water to fill the tank i have two aquaclear70 filters that i am using for the tank startup that will be switched up with a Tom Rapids Pro Series RP3 Plus Canister Filter With Auto Fill System somtime within the next few months hopefully as for lighting i am using a t5ho set up with two 10k daytime lights and two 420 actinics and led moonlight as for heating i have a 220 watt heater i think that pretty much my set up at the moment any feedback would be greatly appreciated i will try to get some pics up in the near future thanks and happy reefing

 

What type of corals are you planning to keep?

I'm having problems with a light with the same descriptions, only without moonlights. It's a 4x54watts, so a total of 216 watts and even though I have good bulbs, I had to put all my SPS's at the very top to keep them slowly growing.
You may look into a 6 bulb or a metal halide/actinic combo. I regret buying this light (Wavepoint) and would spend the money for a nicer, more apt light fixture if I had the money now.

Are you planning to build a sump for the tank at some point? A protein skimmer is also an awesome investment as far as equipment.

Can't wait to see the pics!

 

my tank will be for lps coral mainly i would like to keep some sps maybe in the future but metal halide is out of the question i am an electrician and from what i understand metal halide lighting will be no more within the next year or so and they wont even be produced anymore led lighting and t5 setups will be the main stay for a little while until the plasma lighting system is fully entegrated and afordable and as for the protein skimmer i agree they are something handy to have and lucky me the Tom Rapids Pro Series RP3 Plus Canister Filter comes with one built in thanks for the reply on my post and i loof foward to talkin to a lot of the community members

 

figured now is as good a time as any for a little update got a few pieces of live rock today from a buddy of mine to help really get the tank goin and went to the lfs and picked up a couple of domino damsels for their poo capabilities a week or two with these little guys and i should be ready to put the rest of the live rock in and take the damsels back to the lfs and get some less mean fish lol but thats all for the moment pics still comin soon i lost the cable that connects my camera to the comp so got to get a new one but thanks for the support and happy reefing
