Hi Everyone! My name is Rosemary aka Ms Slick, I'm in Arkansas and have a 75g, 35g freshwater, and 10g saltwater. I have had my 75 for the past 32 years. This past week I broke down and said what the heck I'm goin for SALT on the little one just to see if it was as horrible as everyone told me it would be... well so far, it has been such a pleasure to me I wished I had started salt a long time ago! So now I am addicted!! I would love to take the 75 and start a reef tank... but not sure if I am ready for that. Any suggestions to help me out here?? Like how much weight in rocks and such will that 75g take? Suggestions on filters and etc..?? Thanks for helping out!

feed them silver side chunks... you can feed them every day if you want... but they will grow gigantic depending on color, and you might get more problems...

3, 50 gallon, hang on the back filter for up to 75 gallons, 35 lbs of live rock, need a skimmer, t5 ho lighting. 2 power heads and 2 airstones
4, Tried a tank about 10 years ago and failed miserably....probably cause I didnt read a danr thing about it. Just threw some salt and fish in and replaced them when they ddied off. Now that I actually did some research first, I am so excited about my tank and toatally addicted....I cant believe how little I knew then, and Im feel horrible about the dearly departed...8-(.
5, Ill say legit about 2 months.
6, Advice on coral placement and growth, feeding. Good fish for a peaceful reef tank. Used protein skimmer needed.
