    Hello, back in September, I randomly decided to get a fish tank, all i knew was i wanted tropical fish. I started Youtubing tropical fish tanks and came across a reef tank, right then and there i cought the bug, i was hooked. I began researching and got on 3reef probably everyday since October (sad i know, but needed to learn). Five months later i finally got my tank up and running, the tank is a standard 75 gallon AGA, and is 7 weeks old, what do you guys think? Pictures are a little blue, sorry about [​IMG]that.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    You are right... Pics are blue... With a "?" in them... How did you acclimate it?

    It seems your tank it's a little small for "?".. Jk lol

    try uploading the pics to photobucket then copy paste the direct link into the little mountain icon.

    That looks great! You can definitely tell you did your studying before jumping in. K+ for that! Welcome to 3reef!

    To post an image, use the tag. In between the two pieces, put the direct link to it.

    On Photobucket in particular, there's a few links under each image; you can copy and paste the one labeled "IMG Code" to get it to show up right on this page.

    Yes, i definitely wanted to learn a lot before i started my tank, since it seems like i saw a post everyday that someone was telling the person they should have researched more before starting. Ya that is a black and white clown, just got those two yesterday.
