Just bought my first rig

Well, my first "decent" one anyway, lol. I caught a 75 gallon, reef ready tank on sale for $849, stand, filter, t5, and pump included, marked down from $1100. I decided to wait on the 200 gallon, and make it a predator tank, they've had it so long, they took it off the floor, so its not going anywhere. I'll post some pics when I get my computer back up, so ya'll can review my purchase.

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!
