Well I got a 75 gallon yesterday from angelf. Transferred from my rimless 93 cube (pending sale). Had it all transferred in 2 hours! I only had one xr30 radion(bought from Gary) which I was skeptical to see how it looked. But it also has the wide lens. So for now IMHO it's working fantastic. And I'm so surprised 48 inches of coverage. Yes the par is low on the sides but that's where I put my rics and Yumas, and anemone. Also have 1 mp40 but seems to work good for now too since I just mainly have softies a few sps but they are high by the flow. No protein skimmer I have a fuge with mangs and chateo for my nutrient export and works great for me. Smart ato for my top off. And thinking of purchasing a dosing pump to keep my alk higher. I use kalk in the ato which keeps calcium good but alk still is on the low side. So rather than dosing calcium and alk I'll just use less kalk and does alk. Also the radion is only turned up to 70 percent at peak.

Lotta nice coraline on that rock looks good it wont be your last rockscape though lol i cant ell u how many times i changed mine this time i used rods harder to change forces me not to touch lol
 
I wish I redid my scape only 3 times...put great start up. As Joe said all that coraline looks great. Is that real reef rock? How long did you have 93 up?
 
All together this stuff has been in and put of tanks for about 4 years. From a 75 to a 135 to a 220 to a 93. it is aquacultured rock. The 93 was up almost a year. Went through t5s, halides, razors. Probably helps Ive worked at a few lfs. And have made good friends with the owners. Lol. I love doing setups for some reason. I moved a few times which is why mainly. This summer I'll be doing another upgrade. Not sure what size I know something high end and custom. I will be spending alot so I can do it once and not again for 5 years or so hopefully.
