Tank specs: 210 gal with 65 gal refugium sump, co reactor, protein skimmer, up filter running constantly, or set up for monthly water changes of at least 30 gal. Lots of gentle water movement over entire tank.
For years I ran with lps corals. Very difficult to keep up with the cost of keeping water perfectly clean and wanting to add a few larger fish I switched to mostly soft coral, allowing me to add a few large angels( Emporer, Regal). I have some large tangs with me for years and lots of smaller reef type critters. ( snowflake eel, blue lobster, purple lobster, shrimp, reef safe wrasse, gobies, cardinalfish, pyramid butterfly,Ritter I with 8 different oscolaris clownfish, many other reef cleaning snails, crabs.
I place charcoal in sump to help break down the toxins from leathers. I am now trying to incorporate some plating montipora, but not sure if they will do ok in my set up with all the soft coral. Any thoughts?
