Hello everyone! Welcome to my thread. I've had this tank up and running for about 8 months now. I have pictures of its earlier stages on my old phone, I may eventually update the thread with it if I ever feel like it. It has been through many iterations and will continue to change as I figure out exactly what I want to do with it. As of right now it is something of a display tank with a metric crap ton of extra frags/corals that I have been picking out to grow and trade. As it is so full, I am not planning to add any more animals for a while. Hopefully my frag tank will be up and running in the next couple of weeks so that I can give these babies some much needed room to grow.

My equipment:
  • 40 breeder display, 20 sump
  • Reefbreeders Photon 24 LEDs (planning to get some T5s at some point to light up the whole tank)
  • Jebao 750 GPH Powerhead
  • Reef Octopus 110-NT Skimmer
  • Large filter sock + ChemiPure Blue
  • SeaChem Matrix + Eschopps BioLux Biomedia
  • Small refugium area for growing chaeto/caelurpa
  • SmartATO
My fish/cleanup
  • Gold Nugget Maroon female / Gold Nugget x Lightning male Clownfish
  • Flasher Wrasse
  • Pink Streaked Wrasse
  • Rainford's Goby
  • Wheeler's Goby
  • Sea Cucumber
  • Sea Hare
  • Princess Conch
  • Various crabs and snails
And that's it! I like to keep it simple. I also dose fuel and 2 part as needed and am planning on getting a dosing pump eventually.

Enough talk, here's the pictures:

This is a frag I picked up the other day as an echinata. The more I look at it the more I see bowerbankii but I suppose I'm just gonna have to wait :p. Godspawn bounce in front.

Here's a couple more vids for good measure. Enjoy! (Pardon the detritus in the 1st video, I just turkey basted the sand bed a bit)
