Hey All!

Just wanted to jump in and introduce myself! I have kept multiple tank of freshwater fish in the past (Currently have a 30 Gallon community tank and 6 gallon shrimp tank) but am just now getting into and learning about reef tanks!

I'm planning my first 75 gallon reef tank and can't wait to learn about the hobby and keep some beautiful fish and corals in my home!

I'm still putting together my fish list but definitely want to keep 2 clowns and some sort of tang!

I'm excited to learn about the hobby and happy I found this resource of helpful people!

Welcome!

Welcome to the reef. I discovered this forum as it seemed to always come up when I googled a question. Finally joined, then chose to become a supporting member and later a partner member to keep the forum available for others to come. My wife @Ocean_Queenie and I started culturing copepods and phytoplankton eventually selling some on here as a hobbyist. Eventually we decided to try to make a career out of it so we are now sponsors as well. I love the Reef2 Reef community here and the wealth of knowledge. Thanks for joining us.

Tangs are one of my favorites. Most really need room to cruise. In a 75 you should consider a smaller species. I think the Tomini is cool for a smaller tank. Kole’s, Lieutenants or lavender could work as well.
