Spankey, is that the 75 in your sig? That's really impressive for 2x150w. How often do you change your bulbs?

MSN- I change my bulbs every 7 months. I also have two 96w actinics in the fixture too but they were off at the time of the photo.

I would have gone with a fixture with two 250w's but I knew they would burn the corals that were up high close the light so I opted for the 150w fixture. I had a dual 150w fixture over my 46 bowfront and it worked very well so I just bought a bigger one

Nice tank gang... I need to get some better photos to post. I didn't know we were posting coral shots, I thought it was just a FTS?

Any rate, I will post some other photos later as the FTS doesn't do it justice, at least with my setup

Saltwater went into this tank July 23, 2006 so not quite one year old. All of the corals were frags either taken from my 65 gal or purchased from RC members, LFS and other hobbyist. It is not even close to comparing to many tanks in this thread but I work everyday to help it get there.
