Glad to be here

[reeftigergal]

I’ve been a viewer of the site for awhile and have quite a bit. I have a 75g tank with a 20gal sump/refugium

I won’t list everything that is in there right now but I have included a photo that I took this morning. If you have any questions about the specifics of my tank I’d be happy to discuss. Other than that, I’m excited to join the conversation!

And we are excited to have you here. As you already know that we here on Reef2Reef are the best. Most informative, kind and motivational feed group I’ve ever been a part of and looking forward to seeing more of that sweet reef of yours.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments! I slipped into the reef addiction quite quickly and I can safely say that I am hooked for life! My wallet definitely feels it too... especially since I live about 15 minutes away from BRS!

I will continue to post pics and updates.

Here is what’s in the tank at the moment (I’ll try to remember the order that they were added to the tank)

1) diamond watchman goby
2) Pistol shrimp (best friends with the goby)
3) 2 clowns
4) 5 hermit crabs
5) 2 turbo snails, and about 5 or 6 various snails split between DT, Sump/fuge
6) Yellow Eyed tang
7) Rainbow colored Wrasse
8) 1 Cleaner shrimp
9) green candy cane
10) 2 green star polyps
11) 3 chalice
12) 1 Duncan
13) 2 Brain Favia
14) 2 Acan
15) 1 wall hammer (green)

21) RBTA
22) 2 meteor shower coral
23) 1 zoa
24) 1 Blasto
25) 1 Lobos
