My 40b mix reef

[JaysonPRreef]

Hello everyone. After a long time out of the hobby I've come back again with a 40b. my goal is to be able to have a mix reef.

The process of being able to pour water into the tank was a long and tedious one, since I took on the task of doing it and everything myself. Make the stand and turn my garage into a family room. Make all the electric outlet whit separate brakers just for the tank. And basically spent all the weekend's of fall and winter working on the house to finally have my tank running.
The tank is around 4 months old. And i have being adding fishes and corals week by week . I have been a fan of having a good quantity of small fishes.

My equipment is
20 gal sump
Reef octopus 110 extarnal skimmer
Jebao pump
Nero 3 and nero 5 wavepump
Red sea dosing pump
Cheato reactor on a 150 phosban
2 radion xr15 blue
Apex
Teco 500 chiller

My live stock is
black snowflake
Frostbite clown
5 scissortail dartfish
2 fire fish
4 ORA margarita cardenal
Striped cardenal
candy cane goby
Randalli goby
Yellow cori
Carpenter wrases
Cleaner shrimp
8 diferent frags of acan
Zoas
Some lps like hammer, fine grage, frogspawn

Great stand - corals look awesome! The garage conversion is pretty cool, too.

Very nice setup! Stocking it similar to how I stock my tanks. Lots of small schooling fish and planktivores. Very nice and I can't wait to see how it grows in!

Looks great. Love the cabinet work.

How are the fishes? Are they behaving? I see you have a few of the same kind of fish species. Have any been fighting with each other? Have you lost any? I have a 40b with a 40b sump. I find it challenging to find small fish that are also in the peaceful group. I buy all my fish already quarantined so I don't like to buy fish that are small and then to rehome when they become too big for the tank.

At least all the small fishes are peaceful. The margarita cardenals, the scissortail dartfish are really peaceful. The only two ones that sometimes is bothering is the carpenter wrases and the damsel.
