Hey y’all! I’m a new reefer from Mississippi. I started my 20 gallon high tank 1 month ago… can’t believe it’s been that short amount of time it feels like it’s been a while lol. I quickly discovered that my 20 gallon tank does not fit my dreams so I am in the process of setting up a 75 gallon tank with sump, protein filter, and UV. I got into this hobby kind of on a whim (I know, I know ) didn’t really know anything about keeping any fish just decided I wanted to start a tank one day. Since then I have realized my mistakes in jumping in without research, but I have discovered a passion for this hobby. So I have done loads and loads of research into setting up this 75 the right way for success. I am constantly looking up something I think of I want to know, watching loads and loads of BRS and other videos on everything saltwater tank. At the moment I only have 2 clownfish and 4 blue legged hermits (in my 20 gallon). I don’t want to add anything else until after I’ve transferred them to the 75 and given it some time to ensure the safety of all present and future occupants. I am letting my 75 gallon completely cycle before that happens so it could be a bit lol. After that I plan to turn the 20 gallon into a QT tank. Anyway! Sorry for the long spill! I look forward to connecting with you all! I have been reading the threads for information when I needed to know something but haven’t posted yet ☺️ Here’s a picture of the 75.
