    Hello 3reef!

    Long time reader first time caller... j/k

    Well I'm taking the plunge into a 75g reef tank! Not my first (tried a 29 about 3 years ago), but this one will be done with a little bit better knowledge. I'm really excited to learn and share when I can, and there seems to be some really knowledgeable people around.

    So hello again, and here is a quick picture of the beginnings of my new tank! Not as beautiful as some I've seen here but hopefully it will become my little piece of the ocean.

    Take Care,
    plop

    Thanks! She is just a baby at only mmm.... 2 weeks with live rock I think. Got a long way to go, but as I learned last time patience pays. Gets kinda boring sometimes but I promise to wait. I find my self watching it at night hoping to see some sort of life! All in due time I suppose!

    Thanks PackLeader! Glad to be here!

    And thank you Luna, I feel like I already know some of you (not in a creepy way or anything haha), especially after reading that 22 page post from Sparky I think about his crazy mystery crash!

    Thank you surfr!

    Thank you also! Right now I'm mostly limited by my 260w pc lighting so corals will have to be less light hogs I'm guessing. Not really sure yet, I guess what ever catches my eyes and meet my limitations! As for fish, even though it is 75g I'm thinking of keeping small nano sized stuff, so as to appear that the rock is grander! LOL I'll have to have a pair of clowns for the girlfriend of course (and me too who am I kidding!), other then those thats still up in the air also. HAHA I'm not answering your question very well, but I guess I'll just go with whatever drifts my way!
