I figure I may as well put up some pics of the tank and its inhabitants since I have finally figured out how to load up pictures! info on the system. the tank is an AGA 75g, lighting is a 48" 8 bulb fixture T5HO current extreme fixture. only 6 of the bulbs are currently working (have to fix the other 2) but when fully working it is 50/50 (right now is 60/40) actinic/10K. I have a 40br sump/fuge which is pretty much a giant detritus trap that I will be replacing with a 30g in the next few weeks. it is a mixed reef now (SPS, LPS, zoas, a few mushrooms, some gorgs (will be moved to my nano as soon as it is done cycling), and a bleahed sebae anemone). here are some shots! (excuse the algae, working on getting rid of that!)

thanks for looking!
 
very nice
 
thanks for the compliments. I hve school off tomorrow and am hoping to get acrylic cut for my new sump (moving everything fromt he 40g baffless sump/fuge to a 30g.

I am also planning to change 20-30g of water over the course of tomorrow (5g every hour or so) and clean out some of the algae I have.
 
Very cool tank! I only wish I could set up a saltwater.
 
thanks! I never got the acrylic cut for the sump, but maybe this weekend, if Lowes fixed their cutting machine...

I am also planning to re-scape the tank again this weekend. I'm getting bored with this aquascape, and want something more elclosed. I am also going to try to widdle 50 bux or so out of my dad to get another coral colony. maybe a softie this time...
