Hi everyone!

Back in early May I posted in the I’m New Here thread about how I was movin’ on up from a 15 gallon tank to a 60 gallon tank. I wanted to share the progress!

Innovative Marine SR60
(2) Popbloom RL60s. Budget light but wow, the app is impressive.
Tunze Osmolator 3 ATO
Nero 3 powerhead

In the tank is:
2 clownfish
1 royal gramma (hiding)
1 skunk cleaner shrimp
1 emerald crab
~14 hermits/snails.

Rookie livestock, I know! But still learning the ropes. More fish to come!

And yes that’s a bait bucket lid on my ATO water bucket. Hope my fish don’t notice.

That's a great looking start, good luck with your build!
