Hello all,

My name is Jeremy and i live in Virginia. I started my reef tank up about 7 months ago. I have a 72 gallon bow front tank with 265w pc lighting. 100 lbs of live rock and 100lbs of live sand. i use a 100g corallife super skimmer and have a megaflow 2 sump with a quietone 1100 gph pump. I also have a r/o di unit. i treat my tank every other day with purple up and phyto plankton.

corals: leather tree coral, some sea mats, and just got a new one i couldn't identify yet.

My fish are:
yellow tang, sebae clown, blue damsel
i had a scooter blenny that dissapeared and i expect a hitchhiker crab got it. i have only seen it once and it was all white and 2x the size of my emerald crab.

i lan on getting 3 or 4 more fish max.

also have:
electric flame scallop, sebae anemone, emerald crab, conch, 2 margarita snails, 6 zebra turbo snails, 4 cerith snails, 10 blue leg hermits, 4 nassarius snails.

my main struggle right now is controlling red hair algae and i guess everyone gets the green algae film on glass whish sucks to clean.
