Hello all! Just popping in to say hello. I have a 75g mixed reef tank that has been running since December 2024. It is my first saltwater tank after having run freshwater for several years. The color and diversity of life in saltwater is just unmatched in freshwater!

Currently I have 7 fish
-2 Ocellaris clownfish
-1 carpenter wrasse
-1 regular firefish
-1 purple firefish
-1 royal gramma
-1 springers damselfish

I have a smattering of coral which have, for the most part, done well! I would have to say my favorite currently is my frogspawn. Something about it did not agree with my tank and its 3 big heads died. I was bummed about it because it was such a beautiful and flowy part of my reef. It has since sprouted over a dozen little sprouts that I am very interested to see what happens!

My tank is currently fighting GHA. I picked up an urchin from my LFS that I am pinning a lot of hopes on lol. My tank has previously beat Dinos, thanks largely in part to a lot of the info I read here. I am confident that the only thing blowing in the current will soon be baby frogspawn heads!
