OVERVIEW
My tank has been up and running for about two years. The tank is primarily dominated with Zoas and some LPS, Very few SPS right now.:
1 True Percula Clown Fish
1 Powder Blue Tang
1 Kole Tang
1 Chromis
1 Bangai Cardinalfish

PROBLEMS
It seems I am constantly learning new things in this hobby. The more I learn the better I am able to diagnose problems when they arise in my tank. My biggest issue right now is my inability to keep SPS for some reason. I have been trying to figure it out for almost a year now. It seems that no matter what the SPS is, when I put it into my tank, it loses its colors. The strange thing is that it continues to grow perfectly fine just always and off white color. Needless to say it has become the bane of my current tank issues. I have tested nearly everything they make a test for and I certainly have enough light but they just refuse to proliferate in my tank. I don't have much issues with bugs and diseases any more as I quarantine EVERYTHING before it goes in the display. Fish, coral, inverts, they all have their own QT and won't go anywhere near the display for six weeks minimum. I think this is the ONLY way to guarantee that nothing nasty gets in the tank.

FUTURE PLANS
In the future we are hoping to build a new house with a basement and thats where the “real” tank is going to be. My plans are to build an in wall 8 foot tank somewhere in the ball park of 300 gal. This will obviously be a huge undertaking but as you all know anything worth doing usually is a big undertaking. The 75 then will be converted into a frag propagation tank at that point.
