Hi guys, I've had a tank for 5 years now. I started with a 36 gal. which after 3 months, I found to be way too small so I figured that since I had a max. 4ft area to fill, I decided to get a 55 gal. I thought I was in reef heaven UNTIL I tried to clean the front glass and found out that every time I cleaned it, I would be breaking off a piece of coral. SO, I decided to go with the 75 gal. because I had PC. lighting and refuse to go with MH. because of the heat issue and because I'm very happy with my coral selection and didn't want to upgrade my lights. I had to trade out my front 130 watt Pc light for a 108 Watt T-5 this year because for the first 2 years when my crocea clam was small, it was fine but this year, as it got bigger, it needed more light. I have 260 watts of PCs in the back and 108 watts of T-5s in the front. I couldn't be happier with my tank. To me, it is PERFECT!!! This picture is a year old and since then,things have really grown. I'll upload a new pic. soon. In the last 4 months, I have sold EXACTLY $960.00 worth of coral because of over crowding. I have another person coming over tonight to buy some more. Even at that, My tank is fuller than this picture shows.

Thanks guys for the kind words. I really am totally happy with it. I have 7 beautiful fish in there as well.I have my yellow tailed damsel [ Midnight] who I'm ashamed to say that I cycled my 1st tank with,like others, I just didn't know any better. He is over 5 years old and still looks beautiful.

Then there is my OC. clown [ Happy] who couldn't be happier since we got him the RBTA 3 years ago. Isn't she cute?? We also got her a mate, [Nemo] of course. Couldn't think of another name LOL. They constantly spawn.
