Hello and thanks for the add. I just set up a 75 gal with Diy sump. I’ve been in the freshwater aquarium keeping since the early 70’s. I also had a brief period of a Fowler thank in the mid 80’s with limited success while stationed in Hawaii. 55gal with Magnum 350 and regular fluorescent lighting. Current tank marine tank was just stocked with 2 small ocelleris clowns and a small royal gramma and a cleaner shrimp. I’m doing a fish in cycle and dosed with Fritz Zyme 9. Day 2 is zero ammonia and zero nitrites which I expected. Will do daily water tests over the next couple of weeks. I plan to add some more in a couple of weeks, either sand filtering gobie or CUC inverts based on what is happening during the ugly period. Open to any advice going forward regarding next stocking ideas.

That aqua scape is really nice! Is this your first time doing something like that? I’m not to familiar with how you scape fresh water tanks
Not the best pic but this is my 72 bow front with sump. Pretty straight forward. Driftwood, java fern, jungle Val, tiger lotus, Monte Christo, and java moss. Two biocenosis baskets in the sump and Co2 injection.

Thanks. Yes first time for salt water beyond just sticking rocks. This is the scape for my freshwater tank. 72 gal bow front with 20g sump. Pretty straight forward, drift wood, java fern, java moss, jungle Val, tiger lotus, Monte Christo and some floating plants.
