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

Very cool set up! love your snowflake eel

Thank you!! I am still aquascaping and re-arranging some rocks (esp. on the right of the tank where they're all just in a pile) but I am doing it little by little to minimize stress on the fish. I got the Eel as a baby and he has more than doubled in size since I got him.

*Welcome to the forum!* I would keep a close eye on those predatory fish.

Welcome to R2R I really like your eel I'd do a head count on the tank as he keeps growing same with the lion they don't seem to care how much their snacks cost you
