Title: Updated shots of my 75 gln

Here are a couple of updated shots of my 75 gln, i`m now running this tank with 4 X T5 DIY lighting from the hydroponic shop with vinyl gutter/eavesthrough as the reflector + one double Hagen Glo T5 fixture which comes on for 3 hrs, the other 4 DIY runs for 9 hrs.
After first switching the lights out from the coralife 4X65 watt compact flourscent, i experienced a algae outbreak, things are now starting to settle down once again.

Looks good Errol,

Did you upgrade the bulbs from the b&b fixtures to 10000K or did you keep the stock 6500K?

Thanks for your kind remarks guys.
Matt - the bulbs are the stock bulbs , 6500K, i`m thinking of putting some 10000 K in there
Fischkopp- at last count , i think they were 21 different types of plants in there.

Gorgeous plants! And the neons (or are those cardinals?) look so pretty against them!
Good job! :)
