Good afternoon!
I'm Steve, I'm not new to aquariums but I am new to saltwater (sort of). My family had fish only sw tanks as a kid and after about 20 years of going without I chose to start again.

I have a 75 reef ready display and a 30 gallon sump. I'm running 150ish lbs of rock. Sump is full of rock, a 950 gph return pump and a reef octopus skimmer.

My display is illuminated by older reef radiance 240 watt light, more rock in the tank and I currently have 1 royal gramma and a few different types of snails.

I've been up and runnin for 6 months, through my first dinoflagellates "attack" and successfully beat it, everyone survived. I now have a clean water column and looking at adding to my stock.

I am using Ro water and just recently purchased a di canister and resin to add on from brs. I'm using Red Sea pro salt.
