ETR's 75G FO Tank

Well, I can't do a pic cuz wifie just left with the camera. The sump is nothing but a 20G long with the skimmer, Alpha2 biopellet reactor (realistically the Alpha1 would have sufficed.) A 2 Little Fishies Phosban 150 reactor that I run both gfa and carbon in. Obviousy the barebottom and lots of flow keep the display clean.
That's about it. My personal thought is that if the fish get along, the water is clean, they have lots of places to hide and the fish don't get too big then its fine to have more fish than what some might consider normal. I know others disagree and I would as well if the fish load was heavy and they were suffering because of it.

Lights?????? What kind u use?
 
Everything is overkill but the ligths :) ...

An old 4 bulb T5, and there's a short so only 3 bulbs are running.
1 ATI Blue Plus
1 ATI Aquablue Special
1 ATI Actinic

I'd say the spectrum is about 20k. I really prefer the cooler color over my fishes. It doesn't make much of a difference as far aswhat the fish look like, except the Blue-Spot Puffer. His spots glow blue under this temp rating.

The nice thing is that I don't need to replace the bulbs since I'm not worried about the intensity. My guess is that these bulbs are 2 years old ;)
 
Nice tank Eric! Cool fish selection as well! I also want to set up a fowlr at some point in the future. Just don't have the room currently.

Scape is pretty sweet too!
 
Awesome tank! Inspiring - I've been considering doing a fowlr instead of going reef, but my favorite non-reef fish I wouldn't house in my 90g (triggers and puffers!) I know there are puffers that would fit (was looking at a blue spot actually!). Realistically, I also know that I move fairly frequently, and would feel bad for the puffer since they have such long lives and are known to recognize / interact with their owners to just give it away in the end.
