Retired reefer who just back into the hobby this year after about a 23 year break. I'm currently running a rather low tech 75 gallon sumpless mixed reef:

Lighting: 2 X 250 14 K AquaBright Solutions metal halides
Flow: Tunze 6055 and 6055
Hang on back Aquaclear filter
Mix of soft, lps, and SPS corals
Green Chromis x3, Royal Gramma, Foxface rabbitfish, Tomini Tang, ocellaris clownfish, lawnmower blenny,
Calcium, KH maintained by Kalkwasser dosing.

Iphone 7 picture of the tank from this morning, but it may be hard to see anything through the Aiptasia explosion I'm dealing with!

Just found this on here also;
The one sure bet-
You cant beat a Kleini Butterfly BUT must be the bluehead- NOT the yellow version. The yellow will go after coral too but blue head as pictured will eat aptasia like candy, then eat all dry and frozen food offered, colorful, friendly and stays small. I will note that a couple of persons who got the blue had their kleini nip zoa. if so- easy sell, or place in sump as aptasia have likely made it down there already
