Dustin’s 75 Gallon

[Dustye]

As the title states I am Dustin and I guess this is my build thread for my 75 gallon mixed reef. I started this tank about eight years ago as an upgrade to a 55 gallon. Just like everyone else in this hobby I have had some highs and some lows only I think I have taken longer to learn from my mistakes. I’ll quit babbling now and show some equipment, fish info and a couple of pics.

I also have a 75 mixed. Can I ask how high you have your lights mounted off the water?

They are 12 inches off the water.
