I am actually not new to the site been coming here for advice and tips for months now. Just decided to register recently.

I have a 72 Gallon Bowfront Reef system I would guess it's called. Have a Seaclone Skimmer, Rena XP3, Emeperor 400, and 4 Powerheads running for circlation. Wonder if having 4 is overkill????

As for Bio Fltration I have 75 pounds of Live rock and 60 Pounds of Live Sand. Both of which I plan on adding more off sometime in the future. I have been running the tank since Feruary and I have a suprising amount of coralline on the rocks but none oanywhere else. I guess that's good but is it normal???

As for live stock on the invertabrates side I have 1 peppermint shrimp, 3 emerald crabs, 60 - 70 blue, white, and red leg crabs, bunch of turbo, nassarius, mexican, zebra, and bumble bee snails, 4 horseshoe crabs, 2 serpent stars, 1 brittle star, 1 african banded star, and one ummm normal star??

In the fish department I have 3 regular clowns, 1 black clown, 1 Blue yellow tail damsel, 1 Green Chromis, 1 Royal Grama, and 4 tangs Blue Hippo, Vlamingi, Yellow, and Kole Tang. Wow thats alot Maybe too many fish for my tank???

Love the hobby a ton. But I find it turns my normal tight wad scrooge of a self into cash hemerging fool. Anyone else have the problem.
