Fabulous!! We did have a reef in this tank, we had moved it here when we bought the house. We had issues with mojanoes, got rid of them with a raccoon butterfly, but then it was difficult to get it back to what it once was.eta: I also got acro eating flatworms It also cost a fortune in electric and maintenance. It took me over a year to convince Troy I could put together a nice fw tank, that would be WAY cheaper. I miss keeping the reef sometimes though. I can get some pics..brb.

This was our original 75

THAT was the reason I parted with it. And I never even used MH, I ran my system solely on T5s. But all the pumps, plus 8X80Watts of T5s still ran up the electric bill significantly. I was sick and tired of hearing my DH complain...so I parted with the entire system and ....got NIKO instead, m B&G.

Love it!

OMG your reef was GORGEOUS, Carole!!!! I, too, started off with a 75 gallon. My DH told me I "couldn't do a reef", meaning he thought I was not able to do it. WELLLLL....I have a thing for being told what I can and can't do, so I proved him wrong.

Let me see if I still have pics of my 75...








...so from there I upgraded to the 180 gallon....and our electric bill went ballistic.
