First Foray into Saltwater

[Ghostbuster]

Hey gang. I am from Winston-Salem, NC and after keeping planted, freshwater tanks for many years, have taken the plunge into saltwater. My tank is sneaking up on 3 months old. I have a 75g with sump, skimmer, and uv. It currently has the requisite pair of clowns, a banggai cardinal, 2 red firefish gobies, an orange spot workman goby, and tiger pistol shrimp. I added a pretty massive cuc today and 4 pincushion urchins from Reeftopia. I also have about 6 small coral frags and am working to ID them. My LFS is trustworthy so they are supposed to be good for beginners. I haven't killed them yet so they must be, lol. I have been lurking here since before I started my tank in Nov. and have learned quite a bit. I look forward to learning even more from y'all.

Welcome and let’s see some pics! Sounds like you’re getting a good start… assuming “cuc” is a cleanup crew?
