So I'm 7 months in to this journey, recently swapped out my Redsea 425xl for a Waterbox infinia 230.6.

Mixed reef, LPS and fish. I may dabble in some acros placed directly in front of powerheads, but I'm not sure yet on that.

Today I have:

HG Torch
handful of hammers
Pectina
Some orange plate coral I can't remember the name of
Trachy
Derasa clam
HG Micromussa
a few Zoas
two plates
two toadstools
one sinularia
One gorgonian
One purple sponge
Cynarina
two mushrooms
An urchin (Wife named him UBER!)
One more coral I can't remember the name of
Hippo Tang
Bonded clownfish pair
6line wrasse
desjardinii tang

Currently my feeding game is sad me thinks. I feed TDO chroma boost, seaweed exgtreme pellets, mysis shrimp spotfed at night usually to the corals.

I'm guessing I can do better..... Suggestions welcomed, thank you!
 
Are you looking to add more fish? Looking for more nutrients? Less nutrients? Looking to broadcast feed or spot feed?

I have several "high metabolism" fish so I feed several times daily, multiple food types.

Reef Jerky, Ocean Nutrition Formula 2 flakes, Ocean Nutrition Prime Flakes, and several varieties of LiveAquaria pellets - Krill, Coral Fusion, and Reef Fusion. Occasionally I throw in some frozen enriched brine cube and some nori sheets, but not every day.

Wife wants more fish, and now that I uograded there will be more coral as well.

If I can find a deal on a large-ish carpent nem, we’d add another clownfish pair, likely some anthias as well.

(And yes, two more lights are on the way!)
