    Just had to shell out 935 dollars for next semesters classes so, this thing is on standby yet again. Ugh i really wanna graduate and just make some serious dough!

    On a side note i am taking Oceanography this semester. Kinda excited to see how these studies will translate into the hobby. I told my adviser today i loved reef tanks and she was like OMG NEMO!! ... i hate that response. But anyway heres to the next semester. lol only 10 more classes and i can transfer to UCF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I havnt decided at the moment. I would like a mix of everything. I havnt had any sps coral before so im probably going to lean a little toward sps dominant, but well see how things play out. I want to have 2 kessil 150W, 15000K lights over the tank. Man that would be so tight.

    Yea i keep telling myself to stay in, but ive already been out for 2 semesters between the ones ive done. I should be graduated by now but im taking things at my own pace.

    I hope it is because the class is from 6:00PM - 8:40 PM... first night corse ive taken. hopefully ill be in a computer lab, that way ill have access to 3reef at the same time. (if not iphone;))

    that 900 bux would have bought me a awesome return pump, lights, rock, and a better skimmer lol.

    Ive seen that one, it kinda sold me on these lights to be honest. Idk tho a 75 is more shallower than that one (90), As long as there kinda close to the surface, im sure Ill be able to keep sps from mid-top and whatever anywhere else.

    but that isn't a definite plan, im open to anything. Just think these lights are great!

    The only thing with 3 is that my center brace is, well, in the center. Where the 3rd one would most likely go. But well see. im sure 2 would be plenty for starting, and to add another down the road. I guess that would be a judgement id make at the time.lol
