75 Mixed Reef tank

Finally got around to upgrading my lids from egg crate to a screen top. Just took some window screen material and some extra netting from a red sea kit and made some tops for the tank.

Nice looking lid!
 
Did a recent water change and moved a few things around. Also got a new skimmer that is actually rated for this size of system. went from a icecap k100 to a bubble magus curve 5. Also this has made me realize it is time to clean my sump. Probably going to use a sicce pump to suck the dirt out since I just realized you can connect a intake line to the front of small sicce pumps.

Cleaned up the brackets a bit for the ai prime orpheck combo. The other worked and got the job done but wasnt as nice looking. Also buying the orpheck hanging bracket was 90 dollars. This solution was some scrap aluminum from another project, and extra can of black spray paint from either spray panting the stand or the back glass and some m4 screws.
