Hello all! I acquired a saltwater setup 6 months ago (previously set up) and am new to coral keeping. I currently run a 75 gallon with canister filter, octo skimmer, and 48” t5 lights. I currently have 7 little fish, some anemones, and getting into some beginner corals.

Welcome to the R2R community. Got any pics? I’d recommend a build thread, helps you keep track of you’ progress and is a way to show off your tank.

Welcome! Glad you joined. You've likely read that your anemones will will most coral battles, so place corals with care (anemones can move)

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
