75g Mixed Reef

[JF2381]

I have been a member on here for a while and I don’t think that I ever started a tank thread. I guess it’s from a little bit of intimidation from all the awesome high roller tanks that are on here.

Well here is my try at having a successful mixed reef tank.

Some details before pictures.
The system has been running for about 1 year. It started out as an SPS only tank but since then I have added a bunch of LPS and Zoanthids.
This past July I almost lost all my SPS due to a breaker tripping while I was on vacation. Since then I added a dedicated line/circuit.

Equipment:
75g tank with 55g sump/fuge
Skimmer: ATB 840 v1.5
1 x MP40wES (Want to add another one)
1 x Tunze 6045
Deltec PF601
Deltec KM500
Neptune Apex Controller
Icecap Illumination MH/T5/LED fixture.

Here are some pictures.

It has been an up and down battle with that chalice. But it made it and it's doing great.

yeah man. Huge difference. The number of pictures that I have to snap to get a decent one has gone down big time.
It's going to get even better when I get my macro lense. Also, I'm planning on taking a course on photography just to get the basics down.
