Always wanted a saltwater aquarium. Got a used 55g long tank that I was going to set up until my wife and I went into a fish store in Baton Rouge and found a used tank for sale with the works. Awesome deal and said it was 75g. Found out it’s 90g. Came with sump. RO system. Pumps. Powerheads. Ai prime lights. Protein skimmer. Sand. Few pounds of live rock(found out that doesn’t go far). Salt. Couldn’t pass it up. So bought it. Sold 55g. And began research and work. First aquascape I did I didn’t like. Redid it. Didn’t like it and got more rock glue and epoxie and build what I have now and will stay till one day. Always a bigger tank.

Currently up to two clownfish. Blue tang. Six line wrasse. One spot foxface. Good size clean up crew. One anemone. Hairy mushroom. Duncan. Anthelia. GSP.
Thank you! That was my goal. Plenty of different spaces for fish to hide and swim through. And lot of spots to mount corals

Looking really nice, your off to a great start .
Thank you. It’s been a lot mentally learning and research to figure everything out. And then my crazy self redoing the aquascape twice.

Taking suggestions for stocking list. So far 2 clowns. One six line wrasse. One blue tang. One fox face. Few corals and decent clean up crew. I know I want a flame angel. Besides that looking for some entertaining and useful fish.

Did you install on Jun 18? Looks phenomenal for only a month!!
I actually set it up the beginning of April with water and rock. Then had some issues with my cycle. Still fighting through the uglies right now blessed it hasn’t been too bad on me. Just eneded up redoing my aquascape a few times haha. But it’s doing awesome. I’ll have to take some new pictures and post them. Have more corals and growth. And some new fish. I am slacking updating on here.
