This is my new setup I've put together the last few weeks
after running out of room in the old system.
It is a Oceanic 72 gallon Bow Front I picked up used.
Since it came with a macthing canopy I though I'd make use
of it.
So inside of the canopy I fitted a piece of 1/4" luan and
mounted
1x36" 96w 50/50 PC
2x24" 65w 50/50 PC
2x36" 39w Atinic T5s
1 150w 14k MH
This gives 454w over the tank, but I have it set up for one
end to be a little less intense for the things that like it
that way, and the other end for my SPS to go closer to the
top for the light they like.
It took a lot of playing with the water flow to get one end
with a lot of flow and the other to be less so. The move
over from the old tanks was 2 weeks ago now and every
one seems happy.
The tank has about 90 lbs. of live rock a mix of
Figi and Tonga. 50 lbs were out of my old system.
The move went great lost nothing. I cycled the new rock
first than took out enough water to use all of the water
in the old system. Added my old sand over the top
of the new sand bed.
Oh yea the canopy is on a pulley setup to raise and
lower it.
