1st Reef Tank

[SoCAL_Reefer]

Hey all.
Have been keeping tropical freshwater fish for about 15 years. Decided to take the plunge and build our first reef tank.
1st tank is a 76 gallon Oceanic Half Circle Reef Ready tank I got off of OfferUp for a good price. Have had it up running for about 10 months now. Went through the "Uglies" which was almost a breaking point. But got through it and am Enjoying every day of it and trying to learn as much as possible through reading and picking the brains of fellow reefers.
