Thanks, good luck with the 75

Looks like your tank is coming along! Can't wait for the finished product!!!

Nwb200 is here and let me say that it is huge. I want to put it together but know that I have got to wait for all if my other equipment. Still needing a sump, trying to find a 40 gallon breeder but don't want to pay $119 at petco.

I forgot to add the photo.

I just sold my tank for 275 ! The freshwater 90 gallon. Going tomorrow to look at the 75 it has a marineland series 2 sump , with a bio wheel , comes with return pump and all will my 239 w t5 fixture be enough light?

What u want it to do

[Dimdim]

I have one sps and a nem right now in the tank i want to transfer over alot of lps and softies,

[Zippo1313]

I'm no expert for sure but I don't think so nems need a lot of light from what I have read

[Dimdim]

Its. 6 bulb t5 36" fixture with 10 moonlights, and it would be going over a 4 ft long 75 gallon id hang it, it is braced in the middle thought

[jjamontan]

My current 55 gallon tank is running with 4 bulb 54 watt T5s.I am able to grow some SPS, LPS and a clam without problems. I think you and do it the growth may not be all that great. Here is a photo of it.

[Dimdim]

I would use it for now, then buy some reef breeders or tao tronic leds, might supplement my 6 bulbs fixture with some led strip lights

About the sunlight coming in the window- I have seen totally awesome tanks that use solatubes for supplemental lighting and they have no algae at all.
Here's a stunning example of someone using natural light-

I don't think it's as much to worry about as people make out.

The lazy side of me wants to leave it in that place so I won't need to move my current tank out is the way. But I am going to make the move. I will be asking questions about the move this week. Well as soon as I can find a 40 gallon breeder to make a sump.

[Dimdim]

I just got a new 75 gallon tank dtilled with sump, pump and stand for 350

[jjamontan]

Sounds like a good deal is your build thread started yet?

[Dimdim]

Yes it is it is called new tank transfer theres pics there also picked up a gallon of a bionic and b bionic and x mag pro by kent for 20 bucks on top of the 350

[jjamontan]

Order came in from BRS today what I got was two magnum 7 powerheads (huge) a magdrive 12 a digital thermometer and foam pads for my reactor. All I need now is for my lights to show up a 40 breeder and I will be able to get going.
