    what did you pay for your live rock?

    3.99lb. Rock comes straight out of the systems. Meaning it is fully cured and covered in coraline and full of hitch hikers.

    Another Tank Build...?

    Looks really good. I also setup a 180 not long ago. The size is just perfect. So easy to aquascape. And good luck on the chromis. My bet is you will be down to like 3 in about 4-6 months if that.

    I moved the tangs over and they are doing great. But the powder brown is a bully! But for some reason him and the tomini nare best friends. Also got a doser. Makes life alot easier. Dose 110 ML of B-IONIC a day. Works great. And I am pretty much done with fish. And if I do get any more I will...

    NO FILTER???really???

    NO FILTER???really???

    I always think the opposite. I see someone using bioballs or chempure or even carbon and think how are they keeping a healthy reef? I have NEVER used anything but rock and a skimmer. And I keep all SPS. Well a few softies here and there but 95% SPS.

    Making the jump to SPS, any tips for my system?

    I meant give them a shock when adding them. Cause most stores keep the salinity at least below 1.023. So 1.023 to 1.028 is a pretty big jump unless you acclimated them really slow. And most stores keep it below that.

    Making the jump to SPS, any tips for my system?

    That is about the same amount of flow I had im my 75g that had almost all SPS. The easiest SPS would be something like a green or orange montipora or montipora digitata. He sells the purple digitata for 29.99 for the normal purple polyp and there are some really good size peices. And the ones...

    Making the jump to SPS, any tips for my system?

    That coral is a pavona and it is a SPS. So you are already keeping SPS. And I bet you got it from reef systems And I would start the corals on the bottom/middle and I would start out with something like a green or orange montipora. Or maybe a montipora digitata.
