Hello everyone, this is my 65 gallon tank. I've had about a month of it running and finished cycling a couple days ago. I now have 3 green chromis in here and two different corals. Honestly I'm not sure what they are called but i like them. I plan on getting two clowns and a couple more corals in about a week. Possibly a hammer, maybe an anemone, and possibly a cleaner shrimp and some snails. Just wanted to show you all my progress so far. This is my first tank and I love the hobby and have always wanted a salt water tank since I was a little kid.

Nice looking tank;)
 
Congratulations on your first salt water tank! ;Joyful
Your new coral frags look happy. :)
Be sure to do your homework on potential inhabitants to save yourself ⏰ and $$$.
R2R is a great place to learn!
 
Nice looking tank. One piece of advice I will give you. Your 1st coral pic, looks like green star polyp. The lower one on the right of your FTS. GSP will spread like crazy and can take over. I like it as well but I placed mine on a single rock on the sand. That way, once it spreads to the sand, you can take it out and trim it with a pair of scissors. It could cover your entire rock work if not ;)

Example pic from the web.

^ +1. I've removed literally pounds of GSP from my 2 tanks. I really like the look and motion of GSP, but I keep it off of my main rock work and trim it often.
