My 75 gallon reef

[JaxGirl]

Here is my 75 gallon, set up Jan '10. Started out with a 55 gallon but upgraded when I moved. I noticed the 55 had a small crack in it, so in the dumpster it went. It has 100+ lbs of LR, barebottom, 20 gal refuge (hopefully going larger once I can get my paws on a cheap 55 gal). I buy tiny tiny frags. I like to watch things grow. And I don't want my tank to fill up to a point where I can't add anything new. Once I get to that point, I will upgrade again :mrgreen:

For coral, I have a frogspawn, torch coral, acan echinata, lots of zoas, mushrooms, bubble coral, small brain coral frag, GSP, blasto, clove polyps

For livestock, I have 2 clowns, lawnmower blenny. and for CUC, 2 emeralds, 2 peppermint shrimp, 20-30 astrea snails, 5-10 bumblebee snails, 1 mexican turbo, and various stomatella snails.

by the way, i LOVE pictures..lol

FTS from 6 months ago.....haven't taken one recently.

torch and frogspawn, they have since been moved. They kept stinging each other.

Love your set up! I like watching things grow also, getting the tiny frags is a great way to see the progression!

thank you so much. I hope to buy something new this weekend. besides new bulbs and a new skimmer (which has croaked). My bulbs are about a year old now, time for new ones. I should have bought some a few months ago. But oh well.

Keep us updated!

Thanks! I am happy to be here. I was a member of some other message boards, but this one is nicer :)
