Very nice. Tell us about it, equipment population etc.
Equipment: 72" metal halide retro fit with 3 halides, 4 accents, 4 moon lights all on timers. Octopus 200 skimmer, 30 gallon CPR refugium, 35 gallon wet/dry sump, ( the refugium and sump are different tanks hooked together with 2" bulkhead ) three heaters, 2 korilia 2s, 2 korilia 4s, live rock rubble in the wet/dry, two 1200 gph return pumps, phosphate reactor, 295 lbs. live rock. The stock list is heavy but keep in mind that I have lots of filteration. I use 100 micron filter pads in wet/dry and 200 micron filter socks in refugium. I clean them every other day. I also have had this stock for a long time. I lost one fish in the past two years and I think it was old age.
Stock list:
6" blue hippo tang, 5" yellow tang, black blennie, 4 anthias ( 2 bartletts and 3 threadfin ) 2 scooter blennies, pair of clowns and thier carpet anenome, pair of black clowns, pair of zebra dart fish, coral beauty dwarf angel, flame dwarf angel, cleaner wrasse ( people say they don't last long, I've had him for a year now and hes awesome ) cleaner gobie, golden wrasse, cherry wrasse, six line wrasse, firefish, purple firefish, flame hawkfish, diamond gobie, and a bunch of blue legged hermit crabs, snails and a couple of emerald crabs.
I stocked to have every color and swimming range. I planned a perfect community of peacefull fish and behaviors. I am very happy with the tank. I would love to start adding some more corals than the few I have but fear the stock my cause problems. I would love to start adding some colorfull mushrooms.

corals dont add to your bioload. I think some shrooms would look great in there. Very nice tank.

Tank is neat. How many gallons? I missed that. Also underneath in the stand you have a small tank with some type of plant and light what is that for?
