Reef Aspirations: What do aspire your reef tank to be?

[Treefer32]

My Aspirations are to have around 30-40 fish successfully living together! I have had 16 now, living together and healthy for the past 1.5 years. I'm hoping to continue to add more and top out at 30-40 in my 340 gallon, and have a lot of SPS and LPS corals. I'd say in 2 years of operation I am halfway there. I found a major issue of my phosphates being .55692 with and ICP test completed last weekend. So, finding a way to keep phosphates in check while increasing fish populations.

It’s my first reef so If I can go my first year without a crash that’s a win

I once did want to do a full reef, but complexity and expense stymied me. Now, having read on forums of so many reef tank crashes and problems costing into the thousands, I have no desire whatsoever to do anything beyond a fish-only.

Softies!!!

I'm just about ready to order a new tank from Glasscages. 48*18*21. 75 gallon. I can NOT wait to get started. After my cube blew out last year I've only been running a little EVO. The new one will be simple.... Fish and softies, sump, skimmer, reactor, 2 Kessils or 2 a.i.'s.... ATO, Maybe all4reef as the only dose as needed. Simple.. nothing else. I must say it again.....NOTHING ELSE!!! muh-haw-hahahha.....

To have a system that keeps corals alive until the day i die.

To have my tank watched more than my TV by others. I already find myself sitting on the couch watching the tank instead of the TV (they are side by side). I can't concentrate on what's on as I find myself wondering what to do next to my new build.

So if anyone reads this I have a question. Do you need a GFO/Carbon Reactor and Skimmer if you have an algae scrubber?
