Hello All, Im new to the community, feel like I've been here ages with the amount of research I've done through these threads.

I started with freshwater tanks. I have 2-60 gallons tanks. One houses my Amazon Puffers and the other houses my Endlers, Danios, Rasporas, African dwarf Frogs, and 1 Bumblebee Cichlid.

I have always been intimidated by saltwater tanks, but their undeniable beauty changed my mind. I currently own a 75 gallon tank. And I spared zero cost. I have been doing the normal battle of Diatoms. Thankfully one thread said to invest in a UV Sterilizer which has completely cleared my tanks murky water. It's been awesome! It took 1 day! Most of my diatoms are gone. I go and brush them up into the water to be sucked up by my sterilizer to keep them at bay.

As you will see, my corals are still children. They are doing very well. I will admit I've obtained a new vice, Coral Addiction. If anyone makes a Coral Addicts Anonymous group, count me in.

I decided to try a new regimen with the coral to see how it works for growth. Ill keep you updated with pics.

Nice to meet everyone!

Ps, don't look at my salt creep, I'll get it.

Some of the healthiest coral I've ever received. For about 250.00.

Aqua-Vault is awesome. Having them as a local fish store is pretty dangerous for me though, their showroom is really nice
Im all over Aqua-SD. I finally told myself after yesterday's shipment that I can absolutely buy NO more! But their clearance section is amazingggg.

Ok, my first post was the beginning of February. Here's an update. Still a baby tank but looking better. I did rearrange the rock because I had a fish disaster and had to find them all and remove them, most died anyway 😞. Then I couldn't remeber where I had the rock so I tried to do a rebuild.

I wish all the coral was open but they are ticked at me after jacking around in the tank.

Don't say anything about the unplaced coral. There's so much in there! I have no clue where to stick them or if I should add them to the Octopus tank. And I suck at placement.

Definitely coming along IMO.
