Hey, Ive been on and off over the years with freshwater and recently over the past year got back into the hobby with a 25g cube freshwater setup. After checking FB marketplace for a used tank for a new project I came across a 75g cycled saltwater tank with some fish and decided to get it since Ive been wanting to try saltwater. The tank has a protein skimmer, a fluvial FX4 Canister filter, 2 Sicce Voyager2 powerheads, and Popbloom Turing75.

My current plan with this tank is to create some sort of mixed system with macro algae and some soft corals in the future once I can get coralline algae to cover the rocks that came with it. Since it only just has fish with rock I'm not in a big rush to add anything till I can figure out what can coexist well with lighting settings that can support both macro algae and certain corals.

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
