Thanks! I'm really happy with them so far. Good polyp extension.

Added 2 more T5s to my hood today, for a total of 6. Added ATI Coral+ & Blue+ bulbs. This should improve the growth of my SPS corals. :)

Wow!! Your tank is looking amazing! I'm really liking the colors you're getting and all the bright zoas :) There are some really bright orangey ones on the right hand side toward the back... what are those?

Just found your build, I am jealous that you have a 75 oceanic. That is my favorite tank. I was looking for the exact tank befor I set mine up.
Great build and great progress.

Thanks!! It's got a ton of scratches on the inside of the glass, but I got a great deal on it and I do really like it. My first tank was a 110g Oceanic.

Thanks for all of the replies!! I'm pretty happy with my tank so far. I need to add more fish to increase my nitrates, but in the meantime I'm going to dose some Potassium Nitrate (Spectricide Stump Remover). Hopefully that will delight my acros! :)

Just took this using my tank cam in night vision mode and thought it looked cool.

This one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CP28AE8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't recommend it because you can't share the feed.

Ahhhh, even next cam is like that, unless one buys the service. Thank you for the info, I have a nest and would like to setup the tank cam:rolleyes:

Just an update: I decided to increase my nitrates from 0 up to <5. I've been dosing Spectracide Stump Remover for the last week. I also bought the Red Sea Algae Control Test Kit, which has nitrate & phosphate tests. I really like these new test kits. The color wheel makes it really easy to judge the color. My corals are definitely liking the increased nitrates. I'm seeing more color & growth on them already, and I've seen a jump in Alk & Calc usage. (Increased daily dosing of both from 20ml to 40 ml)
