    I was looking to upgrade my tank to a 75 or 90 reef ready tank. Ended up getting a 120 gallon reef ready tank. Has dual overflows and dual returns.So I have been working all week on little things for it. I built a very sturdy stand and will have doors on front and sides of stand. will paint it all black. I looked for hours on end at leds but im not ready for them yet until i know exactly what i would want. So I ordered all new ATI bulbs for my 6x54w t5 (4 blue plus, 1 purple plus, and 1 coral plus)... I also ordered a new sc 180 gallon protein skimmer, got wp wavemaker, mag 18, and also all new bulkheads.....been an expensive weekend!

    Congrats on the new tank! Bulb choice sounds good...a little blue but that's fine if you like it bluer :0) I f you like it a little brighter, replace the coral plus with a GE 65K. You will have a great tank just by the looks of the 75g! :=0)
