It's been a minute since I've been on this forum. We started with a 30gallon cube AIO tank and quickly rescaped our 180gal to be a reef tank. Y'all, freshwater is so boring now and I don't think we can ever go back.

If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.

This is where we started. Apologies for the lighting but I think you get it. We had a pair of clowns with a pistol shrimp/goby pair.

This is where we are right now. We are battling to remove algae/dinos but everything is settled for what fish/inverts/etc are in the tank. Stocking goes as seen below and I might be forgetting some of the smaller ones off the top of my head.
  • Desjardini Sailfin Tang
  • Scopas Tang
  • Naso Tang
  • Yellow Eye Kole Tang
  • Foxface
  • Pink Shrimp Goby
  • Flametail Blenny
  • 2 Maroon Clowns
  • Leopard Wrasse
  • Asstorted Inverts
