ill have a fts for ya this comming weekend my camera broke! the 29's been up since i took the 150 down :( missing it every day! im gettin a 55g for free but i don't like the dimentions of it so im looking into gettin a 40g breeder for like 40 bucks.. i really want a 75rr but can't seem to find a used 1.. as for equipment goes i got a 175watt mh and a crappy powerhead its the kind that sweeps back and forth, its like 600gph.. i just got a Koralia #4 a few weeks ago but im not putting in in there.. it would be bad! i forgot to put the pic of the mushroom rock i got.. there's 20 polyps or so on there ill attach it now.. i have about 70lbs or more of base rock ive been collection over the months.. i got some rods and ive been drilling the rock for the next tank, looking nice IMO..


paid 20 for this.. also i picked up a tri color acro but its not very colorful and only 1 'twig' lol.. i need to order a new bulb for my MH.. thinking about going 20k.. what do you guys think?

Ugh! Tell me about it. I'm in the same boat.

Never used 20k myself, but the general consensus on it is that its bluer in color then the other bulbs. I'm really happy with the color of my 14k, might put an actinic T5 with it as soon as my big tank gets setup. 20k will work no doubt, just depends on how blue you want the tank i guess.

From what ive seen and heard 20k makes the corals pop more, i don't want to use a 14k then have to supplement it with actinic's.. as far as the 75rr goes I may just end up with a regular tank and drill it b/c im tired of searching! i like the 40g breeders also and theres a local guy selling 1 for 40 bucks new in the package.. question is will 1 mh cover the tank? .. another question about my acro and birdsnest i got today.. not really sure but they like alot of flow right? and what about light? im sure they will be fine under my 175 right? I know i shoulda researched it before i bought it but i just assumed they would be ok lol

theyll be fine under your light but you may need to up your flow a bit (youll still want them closer to the top)... IME 14k is better for coral growth than 20k, and when i added my actinics it didnt make much of a differance as far as adding more color it was more about simulating dusk/dawn
