Hi everyone! I have always had fresh water. Had a small saltwater when I was a kid. Now my husband and I have started a 75 gal saltwater. It was going to be FO, but I took him to a different store which has many things other than fish. He was hooked! Now we our first piece of live rock and polyp. Our tank was started right after Christmas and we put 2 damsels in about 6 wks later. We know have a sailfish tank, coral beauty, 2 emerald crabs, 2 dwarf hermit crabs, a pajama cardinal, a gold banded clown and green tip bubble anemone, and a banded coral shrimp. We are looking into LED lighting to add to our T5. Also powerheads and down the road a protein skimmer. So much to research and so many decisions to be made. Any help is greatly appreciated. I will post pictures as soon as i figure out how!

Welcome to the addiction. Looking forward to seeing this system. Please start a tank thread and post lots of pics. Do you have a sump? A skimmer would be a good addition sooner then later.

No sump, we'll be adding a skimmer soon. researching lighting right now we have one T8 and a T5 fixture, one blue and one white. Trying to figure out if LEDs are the way to go or stick with T5's. We need another fixture, just not sure which is better. Any comment?
