cklskypilot Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Just thought I would show you a picture of my tank. It is not much yet. But I hope the 75 Coral grow out and it looks better than it does now. I made the aquarium stand myself out of knotty pine and took a torch to burn the grain and highlight it. Than I gloss coated the whole thing. I installed two 400 Watt K20 Hm lights and two 48 inch T5's blue and two VHO's 18 inch. The tank has a 55 gallon sump. I run two external pumps, one for return and one for loop system with 4 nozzles. I also run two 1200 gph wavemakers. I know the pictures are not that good yet... but I hope in six months it ends up looking a lot better. I wish the thank the following people. Joel, Patrick, Issac, Woody, and all the great people I have met out there so far. And my kids for helping me get this set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilmca Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Nice work on the stand and hood. Sounds like you have plenty of light and flow for a 75. Thanks for sharing. Is that tile on the ledge in front of the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
