    Just thought I would post a photo of my year old "low tech" reef.
    [​IMG]

    It has around 75lbs of rock...60lbs live 15lbs base. Equipment: 216watt HOT5, 2 BakPak Skimmers, 2 Koralia 1s, 1 Koralia nano, 1 Penguin 660 behind the rock, 1 AC110 for chemical filtration(ChemiPure, Reef Carbon, Purigen, Polyfilter). Livestock: 2 Black Ocellaris, 2 Firefish, 1 Royal Gramma, 1 Yellowtail Blue Damsel....I may add 1 more small fish.

    Corals are jus zoas, mushrooms, palys and star polyps. I still need to add 15lbs or so of live to the front to cover up that base rock...Ill probably add a few more corals after I change bulbs next month as well.

    Can't wait for my 55 to hit one year old. I'm impressed. Well done.
