Why your using Water Softener? and how the coralife pro works on your tank, still thinking with light though?

And you got a nice tank there

How much did all that stuff cost? I understand if you want to keep it private but, OUCH!!! Bump for the nice setup

The Coralife pro is the perfect light for this tank great for all lighting cycles even moon for night. You could actually get away with just using one 150 watt HQI on this tank just dont get a pendant circlular one get a rectangular one which will have a wider throw for the light angle. also, a good portion of the time I just use the HQI on mine.

As for the softenizer I use it because most aquatic plants prefer softer water, plus Co2 dissolves better in softer water.

What filter are you planning on using?

Alright! I am anxious to see how you set this up!

Dream Tank is right! Ahh, ADA goodness ...

Are you going to split a third line off your CO2 bottle, and run all three tanks off the one tank? What kind of manifold do you have for that? And, I assume that means you have a needle valve and bubble counter for each tank? Inquiring minds want to know!

Really, i thought 150 watts is not really recommend for a 90p, i was planning to buy the solar 1 but i read a lot of stuff that its not good.
