    (long whistle) That is the tank size I eventually want, once we move of course.
    Can not wait to tag along. :victory:

    Thanks guys....Right now Im cycleing it with some shrimp. Waiting for it to get up and going. I have to buy some more base rock to get the look I want. The stuff in the 75 will not be enough. Still deciding what light setup to go with. I have leds on my 75, but was thinking of going halide and leds or just halides and t5. I like the leds, but I think the halides might work a little better on this setup. 30" tall tank Im just worried about the par at that height on the bottom.

    I just built the canopy for the LED lights. The tank is up and running and so far so good. Everything is doing pretty weill. I dont think my torch, duncan and my toadstool have every been so big and happy.

    Here are pics of the sump setup also. I usually have dual socks on the drain,just wanted to leave them off to get the pod population up. I have to finish all the plugs next. I went to move them outside of the tank for safety precautions.
