    When my boy was very young he was scared of Billy the Bass. You pushed that button and he went nuts. :eek:

    sweet deal steve. And there is a huge difference between a 55 and 75. There are so many more aquascaping possibilities with the 75's footprint. Same footprint as a 90 gallon, just a little shorter. Easier to light than a 90 for that reason. I like it. Great find.

    Ok so heres the new Aqua Scaping in the 75
    Also i had a ?.
    Included is several pics, im wanting your thoughts.
    Do you think tank looks better with just the PC light?
    Or does it look better with PC light, with the Flourescent
    Lighting fixture in front of it?

    I believe it looks better with the Flouresecnt lighting
    In the front.
    The bulbs in the Flourescent are 1 Daylight and 1Plant/Growth bulb.
    Both are 40W


    Should i run these lights also??
