Kassuns 75gal Upgrade

My wife and I had a 65g built into the wall for a few years, unfortunately last week on Friday the front of the tank started to leak. We ended up - upgrading to a 75 gal since the price difference was 10.00. Too bad the 90gal wasn't in stock . The stand building and emptying of the old reef tank went nice and smooth.
I ended up building the stand and setting it on the outside of the wall, now I have more room in the closet to maneuver around. I plan on adding my first sump to it in a few months. The stand still needs to be stained, because we had to switch everything over right away. All in all we started at 9am and finished at 3am the next morning.
I have a custom built HOB Fuge that holds approx 8 gallons that I use for my macro's algae and pods population. I added a #3 Hydro Koralia with my existing rios and I have been very happy with the current. We have one 250w 10k mh, and will be adding a second one soon. Below are a few pics.

enjoy,
Kassun

Wow! That was a long day. I'm glad that all went well. The tank is looking good!

I will have some picks up soon. I finally bought an RO/DI unit from the filter guys today. I am lucky because he lives only several miles away from me. So no cost to ship. I am sure I will get abused for saying this, but we stopped using RO water last year and have been using just tap and good water conditioner at double strength. We have had no ill effects or algae blooms or fish loss. Just a little buffer to get the ph stable. I finally decided that it was time to get an RO/DI unit.

Glad you guy's like the rock-scaping. I was adjusting it for a few weeks until I was happy with the look. It offers alot of room for my large yellow tang to swim around behind the rocks. I have a question reguarding the ro unit, but will post in the general form.

thanks,
kassun
