Hi everyone, I'm from morganton NC, <br />
<br />
I've raised freshwater tanks since I was knee high to a grasshopper. It's always been a dream of mine to have a saltwater tank and I just recently purchased a 75 gal drilled tank with a 20 gallon sump. I've been in the process of setting the tank up for the past month including resealing and water testing. I have got 50 lbs of base rock and about 60 gallons of water (Red Sea salt mix) along with 80lbs of sand, and I am waiting to buy the live rock and waiting to put the 40lbs of live sand in. I have been researching saltwater for about 6 years now and since I bought a new house, I only thought it was fitting to get my first saltwater tank, I have two reef breeders led units above my tank. I also have a sea urchin protein skimmer along with everything else to start my tank. I am a fish enthusiast in a sea of people who don't understand why. I would love to find people that live around me to help me through this big first step. Tips, tricks, or anything else will be greatly appreciated. I will be setting up a reef tank and I have planned a stock list already. Glad to join such a good forum.<br/>
