75 gal I got off Craig's list looking for a 40breeder stand. Score one me Internet 0, lol. Was gonna do fresh originally but I saved so much in with what all came with the tank it was hard to pass up salt. Especially since I've always wanted one.

Depending on where you go with your tank, you may learn to really hate that CBS. If you start doing corals, mine would literally pull food right out of the corals mouths. Needless to say, mine was banished to a QT tank over a year ago after a few months of being a pest to everything in my tank. With a 75g though, you may not have those problems since he has more room to roam. They can be quite entertaining though.

What's your full Livestock list so far ? And what else do you plan to put? Following along, i'm also doing a 75. What else can you tell us? What lights are you running? I see a HOB overflow, correct? How big is your sump?

The only other fish I really want is a coral beauty, but I think I'm good for now in this tank. I would like to add more sps and lps, I wanna see how the ones I have now fair first. I had a sps die me when I first started adding stuff so wanna make sure I can keep these alive for now. I would love for you to post a link to your tank so I can follow along. My tank is almost 4 months how bout yours?

Nice choices. You do seem pretty filled up. Maybe a couple more fish, to push it. Coral beauty sounds good.

Well great news, went to my lfs to get water for a water change. Apparently some guy gave them a 12 year old torch coral to frag out. They got where around 100 frags off it so they were giving free touch drag with all salt water related purchases. Will have pics of my two as soon as they open up.
