New to reefing

[Cichlid Dad]

Hello, well I got the bug. I have been doing fresh for 30 years. It was kinda do it in my sleep at this point. I converted a 60 tall into a little reef. I convinced my wife I already had the tank, it would not be that expensive. Seeing how we are caretakers of our animals, I studied, watched way too much ytube and we'll, 1500.00 later I have my cheep reef. Now I'm building a fish only 75. Running 48 4 bulb t5, small refugium, hang on the back protein skimmer.

Welcome! Looks like a good start. I’d recommend a lot more rock, at least 1 pound per gallon.

Agree with more rock as the rock is what develops and holds the biodiversity that your tank will need to help filter the bioload your future fish will create . I would also add that your tank will need powerhead or powerheads aimed to create flow to push water into or by the rocks and create surface agitation for proper gas exchange. Nice tank !!!

Thank you, more rock will be added, just put the 75 together and will be starting the cycle.
