 |  hello from the GREAT WHITE NORTH!!
 hello all, I have just became the proud owner of a complete 75 Gallon salt water setup complete with everything live rocks, live sand, even the cleaner crews when they are ready (tank is currently cycling and will be ready for additions in 2 to 3 more weeks) I have a coral life super skimmer in a sump under the stand and a 950 pump as well as 4 power heads to move the water. Any ideals on what would make it look great? |

Sounds like you need some lights for starters.

Welcome to 3reef! Glad you found us and decided to become part of our close knit family!!!
Now to answer your question: The best thing you could do for your tank to make it great is give it TIME!!!!!!
Go slow and make sure that the cycle is complete, don't add to many fish at the same time, make sure that you test your water parameters religiously, clean your equipment and do water changes regularly and continue to read, research and spend time as much time on 3reef as you can!!!!!!!!!!
Best of luck and again welcome! _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
