You have a harlequin shrimp with a Niger trigger ?? I have a feeling some of those shrimp will eventually molt and never return lol. Keep his belly full. But real nice tank , hope to do this with next tank a real true mixed reef!! Looks great and good growth

Right now my trigger and Valentini puffer are still small and the shrimp are bigger…. So far both have showed no interest in any of the clean up crew. Hopefully as they get bigger it stays that way. I guess time will tell

Some updated pictures. This month this tank has been up for 2 years

This week is the 2 year anniversary of this tank. Everything has really stabilized and I feel like the fish and coral are all doing really good. At this point the only filtration in running is a refugium and automatic water changes 2 gallons per day using my apex and my nitrates and phosphates have stabilized with that.
For fish I think I have reached my final amount of fish. The only one I’m considering adding is a regal angelfish
My current fish I have are
Dejardini sailfin tang
Blue hippo tang
Yellow tang
Chocolate tang
Niger trigger
Valentini puffer
Coral beauty angel
2 blue green chromis
2 fire gobies
5 ocellaris clowns
Melanarus wrasse
3 Bengali cardinals
Yellow head goby
2 mandarins
Orchid dottyback
Midas blenny
3 lyretail anthias

corals
Mostly leather corals. Zoas. Mushroom corals. A few Lps and a few sps

Update on my 210 gallon tank now running for about 2.5 years. Since the last post I lost 1 of my fire gobies and lost the yellow head goby. I have since added a porcupine puffer which is doing great. The corals are getting bigger. I’ve only added a couple of new ones
Nitrates and phosphates started to go up so I added back a skimmer and still have a refugium going. I also started carbon dosing with vodka. I use phosphate rx to bring down the phosphates very slowly

One of my favorite fish in my reef tank now the porcupine puffer. So far he is leaving everything alone
Also. Just added a Godzilla bounce and it already had a baby and also just added a Colorado sunburst anemone. I’m excited to see both of them grow out.
