Hello guys and gals,
would like to share my SPS ( mostly acro ) dominated reef tank.

The tank is 7 months old.
All the livestock is from my older tank. I just transferred everything into this new glass box 7 months ago.
A couple of the bigger colonies are 2-3 years old , some of the smaller frags were added after the new tank was set up.

The display is a shallow lagoon style
44x28x14 inches around 70 ish gallons + the sump around 15 gallons.

feel free to ask anything

Thank you, I added them 7 months ago.
But they are big jumpers so a cover net is a must, otherwise they are very interesting and colorful fish.A bit less common in the hobby I guess.

We have similar fish tastes. I have a tomini tang and 3 zebra barred dartfish. Love your tank, hope to add some SPS to mine in the future. Not yet, still learning!

What filtration are you running? I saw your acros spawning!
ATB skimmer, filtersock I think it’s 100 micron so it let’s the fine stuff thrue, chaeto reactor the new one from Tunze but before that I had just the skimmer and the sock.
And I run GAC in a sock and it is just floating in the sump with mild flow around it.
And weekly waterchanges 10 or 20 % depends on my mood and how the corals look :)

I also have 5 chromis in there and a scopas tang and a pair of sixline wrasses.
13 fish but I might add a couple more chromis I just love them and also because of the nutrients.

The tank is 44” long and 28” wide 13,5” high.
The lights are the 24” powermodules from ATI, 12 bulbs 10” from water surface.
Actually I want to add a couple kessils or orphek lightbars for even more light:)
