What are the stats on the fixture? How many bulbs? Any PAR ot Lux readings of the before/after? I am confident that T5's will do the job on a 75g, just curious. Keep us posted!
Be sure to remember to categorize your entries. I fixed yours for you.
That's pretty much what I've done for years with my 29g and 55g. I never used a chiller for those tanks. Of course, in the summer it's expensive to keep the house at 70F, so I'd keep it around 75-76F during the worst of it. If you can raise up your canopy a bit to allow heat to escape, that's an additional method that helps.
New bubble
new meteor shower
Addd a killer red Lobo and a new exquisite wrasse.
Looking good.
Just tell her you're a registered reef addict and see what she says.
Ok.So Im in the LFS yesterday and one of the workers there (young female) says to me as I come in ,"You must have a crush on someone here".....um no.I explained to her that I only live about 700 yards from the store and Im fairly new to the hobby and am still stocking my tank.I should have said "Look Im an addict"

For me the hardest thing when I began saltwater was stopping myself filling my tank with every wicked fish I saw. Its a good thing coral frags were there to fill that void. Previously I had a 135g with african cichlids and it was normal to go "shopping" most weekends. Right now though, I am on a patience kick and trying my hardest to let everything grow in. Maybe it is worse that now all I do is press my nose to the glass and watch for new coralites.
you guys are great,thanks so much!
Welcome friend, here we admit we have a problem and we cope with it lol Sometimes I think this hobby is unhealthy for me because I can't get the tank off my head!
It must bea California& Tennessee thing, because here in Texas we wear t-shirts and shorts.
LOL That's nothin. I've gone into a store 3 times in one day trying to decide if I was going to buy a trio of rainsfordi gobies. Oh and a CBB. And PJ's and club t's are required wear when going to a LFS.
