First reef tank - 75 mixed

[nolaron]

This is my 1st reef build so any and all feedback is more than appreciated! A little info on me: I kept freshwater tanks for about a year before I got bored with them in 2015. I converted a 29 first to "test the water" and never looked back. I then upgraded my 55 to this Aqueon 75. I am happy with this tank but I've learned so much since getting into this that I now know how I want my next build to be so this tank already has a shelf life! Next up will be a PA Rimless with Ghost Overflow that's at least 110G.

Looking good!

Very Nice! Kessils made a big difference.

HUGE difference indeed! I'm actually happy with the way my tank looks finally and can focus on livestock. I need more fish. I have a starry blenny in QT for a few more days. Still trying to get him to eat though. Hopefully an Atlantic blue tang will go in the QT soon as well.

Of course, my YT is hiding behind this shot but at least the Blenny is seen chillin' like a gangster.

That light looks way better on my tank with a canopy. Lol. The kessils really cleaned yours up nice. Way better look.
