First Pic: My 72 bow so far...

Here's a pic of my cycling 72 gallon bow front:



I'm going to get a black background as soon as I get a chance to stop at the LFS. Plans are for it to become a reef, but probably not until I move into a new house sometime next year (hopefully!) and get an RO/DI unit.

 

Looks great, why are the lights two colors?

 

Those are the bulbs it came with when I bought it from my friend. I paid $350 for everything you see and more, minus the sand. I think one is a plant bulb for freshwater. I'm gonna leave them for now since I'll be replacing the entire fixture once I get Bush's little $600 gift in May/June!

 

Looks great, but personally I would ditch the air stone. I've found it just spreads salt all over the place!

 

The air stone is actually gone. I was using it to aerate the water the first day when all I had was the filter moving water. Now I have a powerhead and the filter, plus the skimmer. I should also be getting my two koralia 3's in the mail today if all goes well.

 

Sweet, coming along very nicely.

 

good start
