Hey all, name's Tabor and I'm new to saltwater and the forum. I've always and only had freshwater tanks until recently. The SW tank has had coral and fish in it for about 2 weeks now. So far so good. Running 1.026 salinity with 5 gallon water changes every monday.

Here's my poor mans setup;
1 Gen 2 xr30w
1 fluval heater
40g breeder
75gallon marineland HOB
1 Jeboa(sp?) wave maker
About 40 LBS rock

Livestock;
1 molly
Around 15 hermits (blue and red legged mix)
1 splitting head of kryptonite candy
2 heads mint candy
1 unknown named purple and green trumpet
1 unknown named duncan
A few different pallys and zoas.
2 head green with purple tip frogspawn
1 head marble hammer
3 different favias

Feel free to help me with the names these guys go by and anything you may see that may be of concern! Going to be adding a few more zoas this weekend I hope and a few more fish by next week.

Here are a few shots my wife is proud of that she got with her new camera .

Yo yo Tabor, Welcome!
Hope you enjoy the salty side. Looks like you are off and running. Some great pics. Nice color and composition, it’s not just the camera (be sure to compliment your wife)! I also dig your realistic expectations of the financial side of the hobby.
Keep reefing hard yo!

Thank you
I've been trying to piece this together with stuff I already had and used stuff. The stand was DIY and I'm working on a DIY ATO. After that im doing a doser even though tests are showing I dont need it yet.

Yes the wife got thanked big time. I couldn't get a good picture to save my life lol. She just got a camera for her birthday and was more than happy to have an excuse to use it .
