Howdy Reefers! We hail from N. Florida (Gainesville area) - Freshwater aquarists with Axolotls but recently acquired an established, 8 y.o., 92g mixed reef tank (video attached on morning after move, running for 8hrs at the time). We are currently a week into the adventure and totally hooked.
In the process of upgrading the tank and correcting some issues so after lurking for a month and constantly turning to the forum we’ve decided to join. Looking forward to interacting with you all and being apart of this awesome community!

Current Equipment:
Display- 48”x19”x20” bowfront (72 gallon) with HOB single return - not drilled
Sump - 30”x12”x12” (20g long)
Skimmer - Bubble Magus Curve 3.5
Refugium - in sump, 15”x 12”x12” with live sand and Fiji rock - lit with a CFL bulb/reptile style hood on timer
Return Pump - Sicce 568 gph
ATO - 10 gallon reservoir with diy float system that makes me nervous.
Power heads- (1) sunsun JVP 101 & (1) Hydor (660 I think - fairly low current)
Fish:
(1) Kole Tang
(1) Maroon
(1) B&W
Corals:
Zoanthids - Rastas, Sunny D and Gorilla Nips*
Candy Cane Trumpet
5 head Duncan
4 head branch torch/hammer
(2) Mushroom clusters
Nuclear green palythoa cluster
80lbs LR with lots of coralline but has yellow sponge taking over in places
Other:
Lots of 4 legged stars (unknown type but scarily abundant) have a harlequin shrimp otw but I realize it will be a vicious cycle since it lives off stars (maybe someone local will want him in 6-8 months after stars are gone).
Healthy population of flatworms (scared to irradicate these chemically so I pluck them out when I see them).
*Prev owner thinks that’s the name
