Hello, All!
I've been a "member" of SWF for a little while now, but I've just been reading posts until now. I just posted an ID question ( https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/368300/is-this-a-sponge-or-something-more-nefarious ) and thought I should say hello to everyone.
My tank is about 5 months old now. I'm running a 65 gallon hex tank, which I discovered isn't often done. I've been taking it very slowly, because I want to do it right. I don't have much in my tank: 2 fish (a false perc clown, and a bar goby), an emerald crab, and a smattering of cleaning crew members- snails and hermit crabs.
Because the tank is a hex, it's tall and skinny. I can't set up a sump underneath, so I'm running a HOB skimmer and a Fluval 405 underneath. I'm lighting it with T-5, and I run an LED moon light. I've got about 55lbs of LR, and about 30lbs of sand.
Some pics are below, at various stages in the last few months. Let me know what you think, and if you have any suggestions, I'm happy to hear them!
