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.

Ha-ha, I know that feeling. I just added my first frags yesterday and they don't seem dead today. Welcome to the community fellow lurker!
