thank you, I have no real long term direction for this tank.
The tank has been running for about 4 years now, for the first 3 years it was pretty much just a fowlr, and everyone told me that I would never be able to keep any LPS, anemone and definately not SPS. Well here it is almost a year with my GBTA and I have just been slowly adding things and have lost almost nothing. Not too bad for no filtration and only 78 watts of T5 lighting (2 bulbs).
I would like to upgrade to a larger 36" long tank some time soon, money permitting.

If a tank is maintained well a sump and skimmer really aren't necessary, I ran my old 42g without for years as well. Similar lighting too

my zoa tank is going on its 3rd year and ive had just about every coral in there and i keep some sps, i use my zoa tank as my rescue tank as in if something isnt doing good it goes in there to heal.lots of people have given me coral that were dying only to completely recover in my tank.have never used a skimmer(though i highly recommend it) all i have is a hob filter with carbon and rubble and a k2 plus about 50-60lbs of liverock from 50-60 different sources lol diversity is the key baby!!!

Great job on the tank! I think this goes to show that simplicity and not overstocking a tank with fish can get you an amazing tank.

Have your clowns ever shown interest in the anemone?
