It is looking good, and it will fill up faster than you would think possible. They always have a way of seeming to be too small too quick.

Looking great! That sally lightfoot gives me nightmares... Keep an eye on it, once it gets big enough it will turn predatorial and go after your fish. I lost red firefish and a sixline wrasse to my two sally lightfoots before I was able to catch them and get rid of them. They are hunters.

Your substrate and rock look very clean -- congrats!

i feed a combo of emerald entree, mysis, and marine cuisine, with a dash of cyclopeze.......

i assume that should be a pretty rounded diet

well mr ploch as amatter of fact there is an up date
i was going to tear down my 90gal because i like my 75 so much
but after selling everything to "bigploch" but the liverock i decided to go a different direction

i rearranged the rock
added about 3" of sand
and bought 2 dwarf fuzzy lionfish
i think i may go fowlr
and stick to carnivors
as well as a long spine urchin or two
not sure yet but basically fish and lifeforms that you cant have in a reef tank

suggestions are welcome
