Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I am new to the forums and to saltwater. I've been looking into saltwater for the past few months and about a month ago jumped in. I bought a 29 biocube already established with fish and a few corals to hold my wife off so i can get a 75 gallon going for coral. The 75 has been running a few weeks now with crushed coral from someones old tank getting out of the hobby and 165lbs or so of live rock that also came cured. I've been going to Aqua mart 2 to 3 times a week looking and asking lots of qustions and let me tell you those guys are great. Last sunday they finally told me to add some fish :lemo: Here are some pictures of the 75 I've takin over the past few weeks. The stand and tank don't match very well but I'm sure it's the insides that count lol. I had a old protein skimmer that I had gotten from a friend that i replaced with a ASM g2 and also have new lighting 10,000k compacts.

You know how to find me if you need anything.
I really like the look of soft corals, I'm still reading and learning about corals so I'm sure once the tank is ready I'll be bugging the hell out of everyone on what's good for me to start with and whats not. Now that I have new lighting I'm trying to figure out what to do for a hood/cover. This tank doesn't have a divider on top so getting the pre made glass won't work for with it. Unless I just haven't found someone who makes a 4ft across glass
I am in the SW area as well. The tank I keep is at Columbine HS, right near SW Plaza. LMK when you aim for corals as I will likely lave some things I can offer you. As far as glass tops, you will likely want to forego them and leave the top open to breathe. Things get heated pretty quick, and you will want the evap of an open top. A canopy over the top is typical, but glass tops not so much.
Welcome.
Welcome.
