90g upgrade

[bjledbetter]

I had a 55g salt tank for about 2 years w. This past fall I upgraded to a 90g.
Equipment includes:
90g tank and stand from craigslist
500w total mh fixture with moon leds from ebay
1 koralia Nano powerhead from lfs
1 other powerhead from petco
1 red sea protien skimmer (up to 60g)lfs
1 sump w/ bioballs sponge and protien skimmer and macro alage

Live stock :
gsp
xenia
great antheila
unknown green zoa
button poplps
frogspawn
mushrooms
A very small blasto
A small purple montipora
2 gbtas
Condy Anemone
And My show piece lol a large Bubble Coral

Fish:
4 yellow tailed blue damsels
1 solid blue blue damsel ( the devil):mad2: If I could catch it it would be cat food
2 4 stripe damsels
1psutochromis (sp?)
2 occ clowns
1 clarkii clown
1 sail fin tang
1peppermint shrimp
a few snails and a crab

I add calcuim and Iodione about every other day and feed with marine snow, phytochrome, and cyclo-peeze, flake food and frozen brine, and alage for the tang. I do a 5g water change weekly for a total of 20g monthly, using IO reef crystal sea salt.
If yall can think of anything I can improve on or add to make it look better let me know. Its not much but for a college student its the best I can have right now.

The tank is looking good. I LOVE the bubble coral. It is definitely a showpiece. Nice job. Please keep us updated.

Ok wow so a lot has happened sense I lasted updated this thread. I'm still using MH but have also added leds to the lighting. The small sump w/ bioballs and sponge has been replaced with a 40 breeder with lr and micro alage and a larger skimmer to handle my filtering needs. All coral died in a power failure last fall and all the fish died a little over a month ago to velvet. Sense last fall I've slowly started adding more corals and nems and now it looks pretty good again. I added the 4 chromis and the mandarin today, the clown and lawnmower blenny survived the velvet. Here's a few pics.

Looks good to me i would leave it alone. Maybe get some leds.

 

[bjledbetter]

Thanks. It has leds on it, along with the MH. There hung at the same level as the MH and it all looks like one fixture. I'ts a evo 200 led unit. Blue leds come on at 8:15, white leds at 8:20, and the MH at 8:30. MH goes off at 5:50, white leds go off at 6:20 and blues at 6:30. Im considering making the morning lights as they come on take a little longer it seams a little sudden. esp to me if im still laying in the bed on the weekends.

Every thing in my tank come crashing down the other night for no reason that I saw so I had to re set my tank. Luckily nothing was hurt or injured.

 

[bjledbetter]

Long time sense I last updated so here you go. Photo took with lights only being on 20 mins in the middle of the night so every things not opened all the way. Tanks leaning toward being anemone dominated. There are currently 7 in total, 1 Ritteri, 1 Haddoni, 4 rbta, 1 gbta.
