Well, This has been a progress and a lot of work and mistakes but id say so far its been pretty good. Starting to get into a lot more LPS corals and paly/zoa's. First full tank shot is of my old fixture. Im running 2 hydra 26's now which my corals are now under and the pics were taken under. Ill get some more pics once my corals have opened up more and become more relaxed

Nice looking tank, had a question about the lights if you don't mind. I was thinking of getting the Hydra 26's for my 75 as well, looks to be about the same dimensions. Do you find any shadows or areas anywhere in the tank that don't get light from just the two? I wasn't sure if I needed 3 for my set up or not. Have the corals been getting some good growth since you installed the 26's? Cost wise I'd certainly rather get 2 if I don't need the 3. Thanks!

Thanks. As far as the lights go i would say i dont get any shadow area's on the tank. I had talked to one of the AI reps before purchasing and he said 2 would be plenty for a 75. I have only had the lights for a couple weeks so i cannot attest to any improved growth but they are way more extended and happy looking then my t5 fixture i had running. I would say 2 would be fine for your tank.
