Hello all! New to the forum and just a little about myself. I was into the hobby about 12 years ago and I'm just getting back to it. I had a 55 gallon reef setup back them and sold it when I moved back to NC.
About 3 months ago I got a 20 gallon hexagon setup not thinking my wife would be into it. A week after setup she said we needed a bigger aquarium. Lol. Now we have a 75 gallon cycling as I type this. So far in the 75 I have 40lbs of live sand mixed with 50lbs of play sand. It also has about 45lbs of live rock. It has a CPR CS90 overflow, megaflow wet/dry sump and two Blackbox lights.
The 20 gallon has 20lbs of live sand, 25lbs of live rock and is doing great. We have GSP, rbta, zoas, polys and much rooms in it. The filter/protein skimmer is a CPR Bakpak 2 with a small Blackbox light on it.
Thanks for reading and having me on the forum!!!

I once had a 75 gal reef and loved it. It is a nice size and you can do a lot with it. When you get the chance, please start a build thread under "member tanks". We would love to follow the progression of your new 75. Welcome!
