F&K reef

[Nasrath]

Hello reefers, I’d like to share with you my reefing journey. I’m not true beginner, for last 4 years I trained on 20gal nano tank (with varying levels of success, we moved to new home in the meantime, so there was not enough time for reefing), and this is my first proper reef tank. Feedback is more than welcomed :-)

Tank - 90gal, ≈ 51 x 20 x 20 inches (I’m from Europe, so in cm its 130x50x50)
Sump - 30gal - Reefmat 500 > Nyos Quantum 160 > 15gal refugium > return through 65w UV
2x Radion xr15 (I plan to add one more down the road)
2x Mp40 (still figuring them out, think I need more)
live rock + Carib sea ocean direct sand
Livestock:
2x ocelaris clownfish (have them since beginning, they are closing 5 years)
Aptasia eating file fish
Midas blenny
Blue streak goby
Cleaner and Fire shrimp

2x wrasse and small tang (ctenochaetus) will be added soon

Corals I want mix reef, but mainly sps. Now there is sarcophyton and seriatopora from old tank.

After adding sand :-D

After 9 months :-) Did not add much corals, but those what are there are growing great. Lost one acro frag due to my impatience and adding it too early and one euphylia is closed since i added it (5 months now), no idea why. Other one has gone from 3 heads to like 20 in that time.
