-72 gal bowfront with corner overflow box and canopy
-20 gal 3 chamber sump that includes a refuge with 6" sandbend, no light yet
-mag 7 return pump
-Best choice 800 gph Submersible skimmer rated up to 300 gallons (a cheap off-brand but it works great)
-2 coralife T5 light strips with 216 watt total output 2 10k and 2 460 actinics, soon to be upgraded to an Illuminarium LED lighting 4ft 4 tube fixture with 2 15k and 2 460 nm actinics should be in soon (All-Reef)
-2 1050 korallia evolution pumps
-40 lbs. live sand with about 80-90 lbs of live rock, I have never weighed so I am not sure exactly.
LIVESTOCK
-1 orange percula clown
-1 yellow tang
-1 pacific sailfin tang
-2 pepermint shrimp
-1 blood red fire shrimp
-25 or so blue leg hermit crabs
-20 or so nassarius snails
-4 mexican turbo snails
-10 astrea snails
-6 bumblebee snails
*corals will be listed later*
I had a 29 gallon for 3 years and finally upgraded to this tank about 1-1/2 months ago. Needless to say all I can do is think about all the additions I want for this tank. every other minute I have to brush these little bugs off me. I was told that are reef bugs and to get used to it. I spent about 2 hours aquascaping last night and came out of it pleased, for now. Tell me what you think. I am new to this site and the coral side of the hobby, but I fear I am enjoying it too much.
