Enough lurking. Heres my small reef tank

[tommy in jax]

Hey guys. Just wanted to share my beginning 75g reef tank. Still learning everyday and cant thank this forum enough, as it is basically my go-to when i have questions. I switched from a 135g tank that i knew absolutely nothing about. I bought a house in 2010 and started with this in the living room.

At this point i decided to keep a FOWLR tank because corals seemed to hard to keep, and i still had a PC setup, crappy skimmer, bio balls, and no devotion to do water changes....ever. Nitrates over 250. So pretty much everything in the above picture was lost after a year. Fast forward to fall 2012, and i get a newfound devotion for this tank after i see a friends tank (and i got more money).
I pick up a reef octopus skimmer, made a refugium with 6" DSB, chaeto, live rock, a Mag 9 return, Corallife RO/DI machine, and a Current 8 bulb T5 HO fixture with 8x54 Geissman bulbs (4 blues 4 whites). So here we are today.

Did wrong??? You have an awesome set up, and I love the fish room. Fingers crossed you keep up on your water changes and truly enjoy the hobby. Glad you decided to speak up and lurk no longer.

thanks i know i prolly need more flow in there. right now i only have one koralia 4. i have two more as well that i dont use, but the corals get battered by them. so ill either downgrade to a k-3/2 or just keep it with one k-4 until i see that its a problem. thank you.
