    Hello everyone. I'm pretty new to the hobby as I just started in Sept. Have a 75g tank with 100# of lr and 100# ls. Using a wet/dry filter with 2 Koiloira #1 and 1 #2. Just ordered a 48" nova extreme 8 bulb T5 ho fixture fo the tank.

    As the stock of the tank I have a pair of Gold Stripe Marroon Clowns and just picked up a Blue Hippo Tang. Don't have a quarantine yet that has cycled so I'll be keeping an eye on him as I hear they are ick magnets. Also have several snails and about 8 hermit crabs.

    Here's a couple of pictures.

    Nice tank! In a couple of years if not sooner that hippo wont fit your tank so just watch him. They like a lot of room to swim!

    Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Was worried last night as I thought I saw some white spots on one side of the tang. Got home from work today and he is swimming all around the tank with the clowns and no spots are on him now. I'll definitely keep an eye out though.
