Ford's 75 Gal. Reef Build: Up & Running PICS!

nice build! but i would watch out for those xenia, they might take over the tank!

 

Thanks a lot!

I know right! i have had my frag for about a month and already its so much bigger! I am hoping that if i am proactive and regular in its grooming then it wont turn into a problem. On the other hand they are very neat to watch. Thanks!

 

nice built... keep updated

 

Very clean nice looking tank! You put a lot of thought into it and it shows. Cant wait to see some fish and corals growing in that thing. Heres a couple pics of my 90 that I just finished up. I added 50lbs more rock and am thinking of changing out that bucket for an extra 10 gal that I have if there is room like yours. It looks really nice.

 

sweet looking set up

 

thanks a lot man, that's a nice looking set up as well! I love the color of your lighting. I think i need to go just a tad bluer when i can afford new ATI bulbs. I will be posting some new pictures when things decide to start growin!

 

Nice build.

Looking good. I just upgraded mine too! I have a 34g solana now.

 

Looking really good i have a question for you how do you like the two mp10s Do you have to run them full blast . different forums say two mp10s are not enough for a 75g what do you think since you have two
