I would like to introduce myself. I have been using R2R for learning resources and finally has created an account for myself. I have been in the hobby for more than 4 years. My first tank was just a small 20G FOWLR, then upgraded that to a IM 40 Fusion with only few LPS corals. Just couple months ago, I pulled the trigger and upgraded to a Red Sea REEFER 250. This system I will focus mainly on Mushrooms and a couple of LPS corals. The main reason for it is the wife loves mushrooms and willing to sponsor and support me financially for any shrooms that she loves ;).
Plus I always love shrooms with my steak.

Here is the picture of the RSR250 I took last week. Few more shrooms have been in it.

This system is powered by:
AI Prime HD (x2)
AI Nero 5
ReefOcto Varios-2 Return Pump
ReefOcto 110-SSS Skimmer
No Apex
60 lbs CaribSea Liferock
40 lbs CaribSea Black Hawaiian sand

Current RSR250 tenants:
Pair Ocellaris Clowns
-Female name is Fin and male named is Rio.
-I have these guys since day 1 of my reefing journey.
-She is the queen of the tank and he is her little prince.

Atlantic Pygmy Angel
-Name is Sake the copycat.
-He is the bodyguard of the "royalty". He also almost sacrifice himself twice.

Yellow Coris Wrasse
-Name is Umai.
-He is named after a ramen noodle subscription box from Japan.

Tomini Tang
-Name is Tomi. The newest member.
-In my native language, his name means a bowl of noodle.

Coral Banded Shrimp
-Name is Tom the thief.
-He lost one of his big claw once. But magically regenerate just an overnight.

I would like to add at least one more tenant. I'm thinking a Green Mandarin, Radial Filefish and/or Green Clown Goby.
Here are some notable corals: A 10-lbs-ish hammer colony, frogspawn coral colony, iron man disco, candy cane disco, interstellar mushrooms, an ultra yuma, and other variety of disco, rhodactics and ricordeas. More and more type of shrooms will be stocked in near future, hopefully bounce, jawbreaker and/or electus one day.

I'm open to any suggestion/comment from anyone on R2R.
Thanks everyone.

Thanks everyone. I would like to post a video that I took last night of my tank on this post. Not sure how. Seems like the only choice that I have to post the video to Youtube and embedded the link on here.

Here is Umai the yellow coris wrasse being an assassin.

That is the best way to handle videos at the moment.
