my 45g Reef

[SkyAurelia]

this tank is 2.5yr old, when i first set it up i did a test based on alot of research, i cycled my tank by adding ammonia chloride and turbo start, useing a ammonia alert from seachem to activly monitor the levels, i added ammonia each day for 3 days, on the 3rd day the tank start proccessing the amoonia i added within 24hr easily.

at this point i added my clown fish, and marcoalgea, after 4 months i added a duncan coral and green star polyp, after 1yr i started attepting to add anemones, so far only the 1 in this pictures i am shareing,

the setup is sumpless, i do not have space for one at this time. it has a DIY light with 56 3W LEDs, the filter has phosphate sponges on the front, and the tanks is due for a cleaning lol

What other corals are you hoping to add to your tank? What about other fish?

i just added a pom pom xenia to the tank, i also removed the two clownfish and added a diffrent clown fish along with 2 3 striped damsels, i also added a new protien skimmer to the build i will post some new pics soon.

as for what fish i am going to add, i want to add a tang i know for sure but past that i am still figuring out what else i want to add, it has to be safe with my goby and anemone for sure, i want to add a bubble tip but every time i try the bta passes away after 3 or 4 weeks, pretty sure the haitian is killing them with chemical warefare.

i am planing to add marco algea once i get more fish into the tank, and as for more corals im not sure what im adding just yet i know a few of the ones i want i cannot add cause they would kill my nems, so no dragon corals or hammers for me lol

Your tank is not very big for a tang. However, if you want ornamental seaweed for display, then tangs are a no no.
