Well a few people were wanting to see pics of my setup and I just figured I would post pics and specs of the setup.
Well the main tank is a 75gal with a corner overflow! Thanks again chuck for the tank.
I put the tank on my wood stand and canopy. There is a 55gal fug on the bottom.
I will start at the top for equipment: I am running 2 Ecotech radions set to a really sweet groth setting for the cycle. I had to make a mount for the lights because if i went with the ecotech rails it would have been about $150 WAY to much!! These lights are absolutely sweet and I love them.
For circulation I am running 2 MP40's set to talk with the lights and reef crest mode.
There is also a flow accelerator from the return pump moving the water in the main tank.
The tank has as much live rock as i could put in there and a bunch of different corals. I have a very mixed reef with a bunch of fish. I have a purple tang, hippo tang, swallow tail tang, hawk fish, queen angel, potters angel, royal gramma, and a few damsels that were used to cycle the tank over 2 years ago. I am running sand for the bottom because I did not like the gravel look from my last tank. there is a reefkeeper 2 controling the electronics and a good backup.
Now for the fug. I am running a DIY LED light for the lighting with 10 blue and 2 red leds. this lighting has worked really great because I have to usually throw away macroalgae if I do not give it away. I am running a Reef Octopus HOB skimmer (at the moment / looking for a better skimmer). There is also a 300watt heater in the sump with a packed center section of live rock rubble. I could not even tell you how much live rock is in this system but I am sure that if i set up a 180 i could probably fill that with live rock with out a problem. lol! the return pump is a brand new mag18. This thing is way more pump than i need but it works in case I get a chiller or any other types of filtration.
The last piece of equipment that I have is a complete system U.P.S. from Liebert. this is a battery backup that filters power before it makes it to any of my electronics and in case of power outage my tank will not go down for about a couple of hours. That time is with everything still running. Got this U.P.S. form my work. lovely work perks! Not the brown trucks it means Uninterpretable Power Supply.
I just want to say that I really finally have the equipment that I want and need so that if i want to get a bigger tank I am all set. Also wanted to say to everyone that I have traded with over the years thanks for trading and i am still looking to trade for things. LOL!!!

just a cool demo video of lights on tank! you will have to go about 30 seconds to see the demo. it is really way cooler in person and the red is the coolest color in the demo. also i have knocked about $60 of my electric bill switching to LED all around!
