Hey guys ive been a member for a while now. Ive been into saltwater aquariums for about 7 months now and i got into aquariums about a year ago. i started out with a 20 gal aquarium and about 2 months ago i went and bought a 36 gal. i havnt posted my tank since i really want happy with my rock work. but just recently i bought 12 more pounds of LR and im happy to say that my tanks good enough to show to you guys!
anyways heres my tank Right now the waters a little cloudy bc i just put the rocks in.

i guess ill go through a rundown of my tank
Filters :
2 simple aquatech hang off the back filters
Ehiem Prof II canister filter
Oceanic BC protein Skimmer (probably going to replace this with another hang off the back PS )
Lighting:
AquaticLife Swing Arm HID Metal Halide Light Fixture
150W and im using 10000K bulb though im thinking about switching to a 14k or a 20k ( id love to hear ppls opinions on the bulbs)
Powerheads:
koralia 1
koralia 3
maybe 35 Lbs of live rock
Fish:
2 Clown Fish
1 Green Cromis (had 3 though they seem to beed gone lol)
1 Striped Damsel
1 Watchmen Goby (Had a Tiger Pistol Shrimp though he seems to be gone/dead havn't seen him in months)
1 Pencil sea uchin (though probably bringing him back, i dont like how it eats my coraline algae since i dont have much of it)
some snails
some hermit crabs
Corals:
Hammer Coral
Devils Hand Leather
Some mushrooms
Some type of Zoo
SPS coral ( it was 5$ so i bought it to see how it would do with my light, possibly have killed it with adding in my rocks and upgrading my tank) oh came with a little crab that hides in it
Some other type of coral no clue the name looks like GSP but its got a calcium base
if anyone could ID eather the SPS or the GSPish one it would be helpful
and enough reading heres some pics ive collected of the few months






This is My SPS can anyone ID it?

This is my GPS looking one again with the ID?
Thanks for looking at my Tread! ill post updates when i can!

It's too late.. but in the future it would probably be best to get all your rock/sand before any livestock is in the tank.
Cool pics. Nice close-ups.
I like bowfronts too.. about to get my old one back. 46 gallon.

yeah i forsure agree with you about adding LR late. i just was really unhappy with the amount of rock i had in my tank. and to me this hobbys all about what makes you happy
any luck on IDing the corals?
