74 gallon halfround build

[grouper therapy]

Well i need room for the new cnc router si I am gonna have to downsize for a little while. Decided to set up my 74 gallon half round. First I need to get the stand built. This is gonna be a simple setup, no sump no reactors ,no skimmers . A couple of power heads mounted in the modified overflow box with a heater and some t5 lighting. 1 weekly 20 gallon water change and that is it. If any who have seen my system and wants something from it let me know via pm. I will be selling once this tank is up and running.

Dave..... If you end up selling corals I'd be interested in buying some frags!

I will be selling most of the lps and a few of the sps. All the mushrooms will be going and all the fish.

I halted it and am downsizing so that I can use that area for a new cnc router
I will then be able to build some custom sumps, reactors equipment and aquariums
It will also expand my cabinet/millwork business as well

Would like some advice on the T5 bulb color combo for the build. each number represents a bulb as well as the short 12" flanking on each side. Pleas give me the color and where you would place them
I prefer very blue in metal halide but know nothing about T5 color. Thanks

left pure actinic
right pure actinic

the midday gives great coral growth. i have the same 6 setup over mine and i have noticed a huge difference as opposed to using 2 aquablue. the midday does give off a yellow hue so the actinic+ counteracts it. the pure actinics are your purples and just make the colors pop. good luck with your build, and cant wait to see it.

see post # 17
went with 400 watt halide instead but thank you for the reply:up:
