Tonys 69 gallon first saltwater attempt.
Ok so as some of you may have seen i have had a lot of questions and finally figured out to upload photos so im going to start a journal. I got some photos on my phone that i will try to get up later as well.
Full tank shot. The 2 ghetto powerheads are just in there for a short time until i pick another hydor 4 up from oceanic.  Nemo and Merlin with their anemone in the back.  Some algae or something on one of my rocks.  I have a coral beauty that might have ich but heres a pic of her!  More photos to come, I have to get a bunch off my phone from when i was first setting it up. Also the back has a blue backdrop but i took it off last night to see what i liked better, im going to put the blue back up cause i think it is nicer. Thanks for looking, ill keep you posted! I also have a hippo tang and a spotted wrasse on order from oceanic corals, huge thanks to all the guys there especially paul and eugene they have been a huge help in getting all this going. Sump is on the way, just getting built then ill move the heater and such in there and get the skimmer going too. I should get that done this thursday or friday.

thanks guys! im contemplating re doing it into like a U shape kind of a cove or something, so the fish swim in the middle and they can swim in and out of the rocks, im just worried about how i will get flow to the back.

almost 2 months or so? I really wish i would of planned better, i have wasted a lot of money just doing it while im learning. ie. seaclone skimmer, buying to small of tank to start, buying a fluval osaka(that is my current tank) that the stand cannot have a sump under it.
I have made a lot of mistakes. But im enjoying it and learning while I go.
