New to R2R, hello everyone!

[Reef Viking]

hello, I've been keeping a 70g reef tank since september last year. I'm having a really good time with the hobby so far and have had the good fortune of being shown the ropes by a mate who has been keeping reef aquariums for over 10 years.
When i was starting my own tank i got some of my friends water,sand and rock to help cycle, the results were great!
I chose to join reef2reef after liking the page on facebook and finding some good info.
my tank is quite rugged looking, but thats what i'm going for! Brings back happy memories of rockpooling when i was a young un'!(although the marine life in Scotland is a bit bland compared to the tropical kind)

Very nice tank! Good choices of corals for a first reef tank and I like the look.

I should have probably said the stock of my tank is:
5x green/blue chromiis
2x percula clownfish
2x banggai cardinals (one is the most agressive fish in the tank,seriously!)
1x royal gramma
1x pacific regal tang
1x blood/fire shrimp
1x skunk cleaner shrimp
8x orange claw hermit crabs
2x minstrel brittle stars
3x pompom/boxing crabs (i named one machette cos' he's a real hardman! beating up hermits, shrimp, bristleworms etc.)
1x 'mystery' crab (a hitchhiker, no one seems to know what it is!)
the only other fish i really want to add is a blue mandarin, but i'm happy to wait till i'm sure i have a good enough supply of live food in my tank!
