New to Reef Tank

welcome68.jpg
 
My dad had a 55 gal saltwater and 45 gal freshelter tank that I grew up with. i Finally decided to start a reef tank after all this time.

I’m in Charlotte, NC and mostly drive to Kannapolis for work and go by the LFS there.

My tank is 75 gallons with about 60 lbs of live rock two clowns and a damsel. I started it on 4/24/21 so it’s looking pretty ugly right now with all the diatoms everywhere.

I’m trying to be patient and make the right selections to make something I can be proud of.
Welcome!
