This is my first thread on REEF2REEF. I have been reading this forum for a little more than a year now, and I have been in the reef hobby for exactly a year now.

My tank has been through everything including jumping gobies, 2 ich outbreaks, 1 fluke outbreak, power outages, and extreme water parameters.

My equipment list is:
Fluval Evo 13.5
Fluval Mini PS2 Skimmer
Aquatop 50 watt heater
Stock lighting
Stock Pump

My stock list is:
Black ice Clownfish
x2 Mexican turbo snails
x2 Nassarius Snails
x3 Blue legged hermits
Bubble tip anemone

My current water parameters:

Ph:8.3
Nitrate:<4
Nitrite:0
Ammonia:0

It is not allowing me to post pictures right now, I will try again later
 
This has been long overdue but the wait is over.

Online, I can finally post pictures!!!
And I have one new addition: A huge rock full with eagle eye zoanthids. There is around 75+ polyps, and I got the rock for just $60 at my lfs.
These pics are just from my iPhone:

My anemone was sold to me as a bubble tip, but now I am almost certain it is a long tentacle. But anyway my clownfish still loves him.

Here is a better pic of my clownfish. His name is Lenny. Also, my anemone has way more color than then, this was just like a week after I got it.

Here is a close up pic from as soon as I got my zoanthids. They look much better now, and if anyone thinks they are not eagle eyes let me know, I don’t mind.
