Again? Yes, this is my 4th fish tank in a year. Fluval evo -> IM lagoon 25 -> Lifegard 24 -> Prostar 60.

I never intended on upgrading so much, first upgrade was because I found a good deal with the upgrades I was gonna do to the evo. Second upgrade was a fresh start after some mistakes on my part which lead to dinos. This time around, it was the desire for something a bit bigger, but also a killer deal I got.

The tank is a prostar 60, 42g display with 15ish gal sump. I transfered the livestock from my lifegard into this tank, as well as some new sand and 10 year old live rock. The goal of this tank is a mixed reef with my first go at keeping acroporas.

Equipment:
- 2X nero 5
- Radion XR15 PRO G5
- Jebao DCQ-3500 return pump
- No skimmer for the moment
- Kamoer X1 dosing pump
- Inkbird with eheim heater

Lifestock:
- Pair of clownfish
- Springeri damsel
- Yellow clown goby
- Cleaner shrimp
- Dwarf hermits
- Couple of astrea and nerite snails
- Bubble tip anemone

Lastly, corals
Softies:
- Various discomussa and rhodactis mushrooms
- White Weeping willow toadstool
- Green toadstool
- Plume gorgonian
- Green Sinularia
- Various zoas : utter chaos, rainbow incinerators, blue hornets, green bay packers, 2-3 other kinds
- Gsp

LPS:
- Yellow leptoseris
- Green alveopora
- Green goniopora
- Neon candy cane
- Indo torch
- Tiny plate coral

Sps:
- Birsnest
- Green stylo
- Forest fire digi
- Red plating monti
- Red and yellow-ish plating monti
- Acroporas: German blue tort, RR godzilla, Golden rod, Red robin, Brakz Blue stag, Winterland, Green slimer, Snakehead stag, unknown green acro

I am planning on running this system on all for reef and by doing weekly or bi-weekly water changes depending on the nutrients, I might also add a skimmer in the near future if the nutrients are out of control, but my low bioload makes me think I should be fine for the moment.

Any inputs on the types of acros I got would be appreciated, a local sps guy sold 7 frags for only 100$, I lised the names under which he sold them as. I already had a tiny golden rod frag and an unknown green acro.

A couple of pictures
