Wow!! That's only a 75 that's awesome.... I'm looking into doing something similar. I am purchasing a house there is a hallway closet that faces the living area and that would look great there. How much live rock did you get at the beginning?

It's an over grown 75, I can't wait to setup a bigger tank. The first few months after I setup the tank I added rock a few times. I think at one point I had about 100 lbs of rock in it, but as frags started growing out, I had to take out some rock.

A beautiful tank. Hopefully someday I will have enough experience for one like it.

Thank you. Based on your comment, it sounds like you're fairly new to the hobby, just read up on it as often as you can, learning from other's mistakes will save you a lot of time, livestock lives and money. The key is patience, ask a lot of questions, add livestock slow and watch them grow out. You'll get there, good luck.
