Wel, I haven't been active here in a very long time. Just thought I'd pop in and say hello. It's been so long I can't even remember if I started a thread about my new 65 and after doing a quick search I couldn't find the thread, so here's a new one! :D

Here's my old introduction thread from last year.

But after a lot of frustration with this tank, I finally got it under control with the help of a lot of coral food, some consistent dosing via GHL standalone and, zeovit products. Here she is today:

I'll do a more in depth description of the system when I'm not on my ipad. I hope to become a bit more active here in the near future. Although I am moving to Boise in a few weeks....
