4 month anniversary of my reef tank

[rcreations]

Some pics of my reef tank, 4 mnths old. It went through a lot of changes, me trying to keep everything peaceful and I think I finally achieved it. Nobody is bothered, all the coral are doing great. I had to trade a flame angel for eating my coral, then a bi-color blenny for being a little terror. Also traded in my 2 anemones. So this is my stock list: foxface, 2 maroon clowns, yellow wrasse, flame wrasse (I think that's what it is), lawnmower blenny, plus a cleaner shrimp. As long as nobody dies, this is the final stock list. I plan to gather up all my zoo frags and put them on the rock in the middle, make it into a big zoo rock.

Thanks. That brain keeps moving on its own towards the clam. It must like the partial shade there.

Looks AMAZING!! Where do you get your livestock from? And one more question What size is it?

 

[kaingers]

I am curious about the size of your tank and your lighting? I am wanting to get a leather and not sure if I have the right lighting. Looks amazing BTW!

Thanks. The two clowns and the yellow wrasse I bought from SWF. The rest I bought from two different LFS. The corals are the same, from SWF, frags from different people, plus LFS.
It's a 65gal tank with a large sump/fuge, Euro-Reef RS100 skimmer and the Nova Extreme Pro T5 lights. Things have been growing really fast lately. Here's a picture of the tank from February, just a few months ago. Check out how tiny the toadstool, devil's hand and the xenia on top are.

very very nice job. my tank is about 4-5 months, and yours by far looks way better than mine, but hopefully mine is on its way. i need to buy a canopy, and get more rocks, and debate on weather or not i should get rid of my snowflake, but its getting the most attention in my tank so i dont know.
all in all, very beatuiful tank.
oh, and do you add any supp. ?

Thanks. I add B-Ionic 2part supplement, only 10ml every day and once a week I add Seachem calcium and magnesium supplements. I need the magnesium because the salt I use (Reef Crystals) is low in magnesium, so every time I do a water change, it lowers it a little. I keep my calcium at 420-440 and the dkh between 9.3 - 9.6
