We got the butterfly ,mandarin , goby , and tang and clams , we just lost a clam I think he must have gotten stung by the anemone ? Because he went fast and the other clam is still looking great and has a little glass shrimp living in it ,the mimic tang is doing super and the others not so well one got his head stuck in a rock , the goby went carpet surfing and one met a power head , so not a great track record there lol but the mimic is fat and happy

Love your tank it looks great I have a 180 peninsula being made also I'm definitely going to be following along ! What's your plans to cover in your stand ? Also do you have all the equipment you need ? I have a ton of extra stuff mp40s skimmers and two large sumps also

I believe I have all the equipment I need, I'm very impressed with the rw-20s I received, they flow like a mp60 so I'm good in that department, I made my own sump out of a 55g and made a ATO out of a 90 cent float switch. And my curve a9 should be here Tuesday

Well I''m nearly done! just a bit of electrical to clean up and then to start finding frags!

I went with barn board paneling on the stand but I think I might end up re-doing it and painting dark brown it to match my wall

So far I'm happy with the sump, the socks are easy to change, although the Curve skimmer is louder than I expected

So far I'm just dosing Vinegar and Alk, calcium is still higher than I'd like thanks to my salt having 520ppm
