Unsure if my water right now. Need to check. Trying to upload my lights.  I think T5 with 3 white lights and 2 blue and a purple. All tube of course. Need to probably upgrade.

Here's my before pics. 

Nice. I think this new tank has a few, but luckily thet are on the outside. What kind of lighting did you use? I think I'm having issues with growing my stuff because of my lights, but I have no idea. 

The white looks great. I just picked up a 90 gallon corner that I'm gonna paint white with some kind of from color. Was thinking red. How did you do the buffing in that tank? 

Looks amazing!!

How much for the LED's?

Would the LED do better you think?

Heres whats running now. 

65 gallon tall

Lights sit basically on top of tank. I'm not sure how old they are. They came with the setup. I'll check on brands and specs when I get home. I don't know my water parameters honestly. I need to check those again also. So lights sits about 3 inches from top of water. I'll check the rest and get back. I do appreciate the help. Thanks. 

Looking for a decent set of LED, or in anyone's opinions, a good set of lights for my tank. I currently have the T5 with 3 blue and 3 white, but my stuff justnisnt doing real well. Some days everything looks great, the next day, only as couple. I don't knowing it's my lighting. Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated. TIA!  Also, looking for something reasonable. Cash kinda tight. Thanks again all!

Looking good. Happy to help. Let me know if you need any more help.

I'll definitely pay attention. So far, doing good!!

Lights are t5 bulbs, for now. With 3 bulbs blue and 3 white. Must be why some corals do a little better lower.

 Hey Chad what lights are you running?  Watch that purple monti, and just adjust lower or higher on how it responds...I have arctic t247's and I got better color from being lower in the tank.  But it all depends on how your system is .

I'll definitely pay attention. So far, doing good!!

Welcome!  Glad you are finding the site helpful. Lots of wisdom (and wise cracks) floating around in these threads so they are a great resource as you come across questions. I noticed you are another reefer from the Kaiser area... seems to be a popular location these days so you should have some local expertise at hand as well. Good luck with the new tank!

Thank you!!

Brand new to saltwater and everything that comes with it. I was referred to this site,  and love it. Just recently got my first tank up and running. I just got video of my goby tonight for the first time. Just need to start adding the corals and anything that makes this nice. I've read a lot of the posts on here, and appreciate advice just by reading others posts.

Heres a few pics from my tablet.  If you are available Saturday afternoon, you even help me get my new tank off my truck and into the garage.  I could toss you a couple more frags.

Let me know if you need help. I'm in Keizer also.

Tank looking great. I sold you that tank. Very nice. Still trying to put mine together.
