Hello from washington

hello every one my name is joe and i live in bellevue wa
im became interested in fish tanks about 6 months ago
and i started my first fish tank which is a 75 gal aga.
for the first 3 months i had a fish only tank,but my fish
all died,im thinking it was because my spinny box fish died
and he secreted a mucus and i belive it was his poisinus
mucus and it wiped out my whole tank except for my
small puffer.but i didnt give up and i now am starting to do a
reef tank,i tried a couple of inexpensive inverts to see if the little
puffer would leave them alone and he has and it has been 2 months
so we now call him the miracle puffer,i have since gotten
2 new fish,one is a volotin lion and the other is a rabbitface.
the tank is now thriving and it is getting over the cyano bac
and now i finaly found a k scale i like for my lights i went with 20000k
hamiltons and a pfo ballast,so thats my story sorry for it being long

 

pics of the tank

here are some pictures of my tank sorry they are so blue i havent
figured out how to use this camara with metal halides but the puffer
is my miracle puffer toastie,there is also 2 xenia 1 mushroom 1 lion fish
1 rabbit face 2 diff soft corals 3 diff polips 1 fire tourch and 1 condilactus

Welcome to 3reef! I like the way you placed your rock! I had a dogfaced puffer, but he had to go back to the store after my Coral Banded Shrimp disappeared one night.....My kids bought him, thought he was cute, which he was but..... Of course, the lfs didn't tell them what he likes to eat!

Anyway... Welcome again, and, I hope you find this site, as much fun and informative, as I have!!!!!!!! There's some real good people here!
