[Reefnman2]

Any updates? The tank looks good in the pictures. Also, what HOB overflow box are you using, and does it work well?

Sorry didn't see this till now, I have a CPR large HOB "fuge" I also updated my lights to the Razor 200.

Not sure what I have but the top pic was a freebie and the others I bought but have forgotten what they are.

Hey nice setup. How are you liking the RSX 200 light? How are the channels configured? I'm about to start a build with one so I'm curious about what too expect. Also, those coral frags are "cute", sorry. Also, I like the scape. Did you use Liferock shapes?

lol "cute" yeah that's one way of putting it...I love these lights they have a nice profile, in these latest pics I'm running the whites at 40% and violet and blues at 75% but I'm about to raise the whites to about 45% and the violet down to 35% been getting that nasty algae on the glass the way they are set now. Yes I did the Liferock I got some assorted and some arches, there are a lot of caves and tunnels that the fish love...thanks.

Update: Well with this virus everything here is on hold, being high risk makes it hard to spend anything on my tank until this is over with. I would like to start an acro garden at some point, I've been very patient this past year, tank will be 1 yr. old this month, as I see on here so many folks losing fish and corals due to being impatient IMO. Good luck on your adventures!

Since I won the new tank, yay me, I'm thinking of making this a FOWLR and corals for my new tank. This tank isn't drilled and I could get rid of my HOB items if I go FOWLR...still trying to decide though.

Congrats on winning the new tank! I’m excited to see what you do with it. If you make a new thread for it, would you please post a link to it here? What would you keep fish wise in the 75 if you changed it to a FOWLR? The same fish you have now?

Yes I would keep the same fish for now and thank you! I'll defiantly am going to make a build thread and ask all of you what I should do on the build.

Here's my IceCap 3K in a jar...soaking in a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water.
