You spent all this time doing the 125 and now you are re-doing it?
Yep :D my tanks are never done. (70+ pages of short attention span and boucing back and fourth between 5 tanks speak for themselves lol..)

All that time and work and you only leave the tank up for like 2 weeks? Seems like a waste of energy to me.

Its impossible to waste effort on something you love to do ;) I didn't intend to switch it so quick but I was able to track fish I (my wife) have been wanting to keep for years so I pulled the trigger..

I hear what your saying. It probably sounds crazy but like I said I really enjoy setup, its not effort in my eyes. Besides redoing it to suit the festae will be better than it was anyway.

Justin,

What kind of lighting fixtures are you using on your tanks?

Also what's the media setup like in your FX5s? What order?

Thanks!
Each tank is slighty different. I like center lights with shaded areas on the sides so I use double bulb 36" Coralife T5's 10,000k/6,700k. My FX5s are stacked with (working down) tray 1 is ceramic rings, tray 2 and 3 is Eheim substrat PRO. I don't use any chemical anything, only bio.
