Hello!

[PotatoPig]

Hi!

New to saltwater (or any water) aquariums and am in the process of setting up a FOWLR.

Running 75 gallon with live rock+sand, with 20g long tank as the sump, with plans to turn into a refugium. Also running a copepod farm outside the tank - one goal of the tank is to add a Mandarin, but want everything in place before.

Current tank occupants:
2 Lyretail Anthias
1 Black ocellaris
3 hermit crabs

So a tad under stocked for now.

Planned additions:
Another clown (orange)
Neon Goby
Some sort of blenny (undecided)
Mandarin Dragonet
Flame Angel
Possibly a few Blue-Green Chromis
Cleaner shrimp (undecided which)

Welcome! Glad you joined. I love my FOWLR tank! Looking forward to hearing more about yours.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you:
