I will have lps and some softies scattered around the bottom half of the tank. also I am hoping to get a clam or two. here are some pictures.











-75g AGA megaflow tank
-20g sump
-Mag 9.5 return pump
-(2)Ushio 250w 10k SE metal halides (gunna order some XM 10k's)
-(2) 110w VHO actinics
-ASM G2 skimmer
-tunze stream 6060
-(2) maxi-jet 1200's
-maxi-jet 600
-finnex 300w titanium heater

what do you guys think?

Your off to a great start. I cant tell from the picture, but did you build your own canopy/lighting? How is the ASM G-2 running?

redwinger- I actually think i'm going with a shallow sand bed because i like the look of sand more than just the glass or starboard. i plan on keeping several varieties of sps, some lps, and a few mushrooms and zoos mixed in.

Here are some pics I just took. As you can see, my water is a little cloudy and I need a little bit more live rock. but i think i've got the basic shape figured out.





what do you guys think?

I saw that canopy at Jake's. That was nice, and I'm sure you got a good deal on it. I can sell you a few pieces of live rock (cured) for $3 a pound. Let me know if you're interested. Once I aquascape my new tank I'll have some left over.
