Hi everyone.
My name is Phil and I live in Ocean City MD. I have had FW tanks on and off since I was a kid. My adventure with SW tanks started about a year ago. I started with a 40g breeder tank which has now been repurposed as a FW tank with some tetras and mollies in it. This past spring my fiance and I purchased a 75 gallon tank after my desire to keep fish overtook the space I had available in the 40. Going from memory, the equipment for the tank is; 2-100w heaters, 2-Marineland Penguin 350 HOB filters, 2- Fluval full-spectrum LED strips (1-36", 1-24"), 1-48" t5 fixture (blue actinic bulb), 3- assorted powerheads/wavemakers, and a midsize airpump. I have aragonite live sand as substrate and plenty of live rock. There are probably too many fish in the tank but I do weekly(sometimes more depending on how the water tests) 15 gallon water changes to keep up with them. Some of my favorite fish in the tank are; Fuzzy Dwarf Lion, Snowflake Eel, and Green Mandarin Dragonet. I am just starting to add some corals again because I haven't had the best of luck with it in the past. So far I have (what I believe to be) a recovering Zoa colony, a Brain coral (4"-6"), and a Candycane coral. I also have a Long tentacle Anemone and a fairly extensive CUC. Anyway, on to the pictures. Let me know what you think. Constructive criticism always welcome.
Thanks for looking,
Phil
