New salty

[karnivor]

Hello all I'm a new saltwater owner, I have had a few fresh water tanks in the past 5 years so not so new there. I have a 77 gallon established tank (its been running about 7 years so i've been told) I got it from someone who could no longer take proper care of it and wanted it to go to a good home.... it came with three clown fish a large black urchin and a small brown pin cushon urchan.. oh and almost forgot the lil crab, it has green and red mushrooms, zoo's (i think) a couple feather dusters.
looking forward to learning more from all.

Nice tank...looks kinda cloudy though...what type of filter does it have? Protein skimmer? Powerheads?

Yes I was very impatient for the first pic its all clear now, It has fluval 404 canister and a magnum 350 canister i know its overkill but thats what was running on it and haven't decided to take one out yet it has 2 power heads and a coralife 65 skimmer i'm not liking too much seems to want to skim wet all the time...

Looks good...I'd keep both canisters....you can get an attachment for the inflow to the tank...a spray bar....and it will move the top of the water really nicely...I use my magnum 350 just for that purpose....And I have a cascade 1500 too with a flow bar
