Hey everyone. After being in the freshwater hobby for years now I recently built out my first saltwater tank. I took a lot of tips from threads I found on Reef2Reef and I'm excited to become part of the discussion!

Here's a photo of the tank, it's a 75g with a 20g sump. I built the stand myself with leftover materials from other house projects. That pair of clownfish are the only residents for now.
