Hey everyone! New here and thought I'd post a few pics of my first reef tank! I had a ridiculous dinoflagellate problem a month or so ago, but have gotten it managed currently!
This is just an overall tank shot of some corals and the fish, the current stocking list (and final I believe), is a Royal Gramma, two Clowns, a Ruby Red Cardinalfish, and a Wheeler's Goby (with his shrimp).
Here's a close up of the left side of the tank, most of the sand scaping is from the pistol shrimp, there's a handful of zoa's, a trachyphilia, a colt coral, GSP, a Duncan, a neon green toadstool, and a fox coral who really doesn't like a lot of light.
Here is the right side of the tank, you can see some more zoas, each frag started as 2-4 polyps, the toadstool and wheelers goby is in better view. Most of the rubble in the bottom is Floridan aquaculture, which came in with two clams (?) that I can't identify, but is definitely alive. I've not seen the cardinalfish since I added him aside from 1-2 small glances underneath this side. The pistol shrimp is very brave, out constantly, and steal a lot of the rubble to build with.
And finally a tank shot of the general setup, it's finally something I'm somewhat happy with, and hope to update y'all as it gets better. Thanks all! If anyone wants to know about my fixing of the dinoflagellates I'm happy to give a write-up.
