    Hello my name is Sam I live in London Ky. I have not had a fish tank in almost 16 years. I ran across a 75G Salt water Tank setup and Just had to have it.
    Went and bought and tore it down and managed to save all the water and got it set back up minus about 20 to 25 pounds of the live rock which i sold to one of the LFS. I have 1 Maroon Clown, 2 Ocellaris clowns, 1 Spotted Mandarin,1 Mandarinfish, 1 Yellow Tang, 1 Coral Beauty Angelfish, 1 Scarlet cleaner shrimp.
    More red and blue leg Crabs than i want to count. And 15 speed snails.
    and alot of live coral still trying to figure out what they are and learn the names.

    yes, wonderful start! Everything looks healthy and happy! Welcome to the hobby! It looks like you have some green star polyps, some xenia, Kenya tree (I think is the large brownish one), and some yellow polyps. I can't tell what the red coral is. All of these are considered hardy and pretty easy to keep so that is good as well :)
