    Hey All,
    Just throwing up some pictures of my 46 bowfront. I'm coming off of a little algae outbreak after my new firefish was harrased to death by my hawkfish... And unfortunately i had no way of retrieving it from the rocks.
    Just throwing up some pictures to see if anyone has any suggestions on aquascaping or new coral additions? My parameters are all pretty stable however i have had trouble battling nitrate but prior to my fish death it had been weeks from any readable amount. I just took the pictures and unfortunately my halide has already turned off for the day and just the power compacts are still on.

    46 gallon bowfront:
    60-70 lbs lr
    36" Coralife Aqualight pro
    29 gallon sump/fuge with around 10 lbs live rock/rubble and cheato
    CPR Skimmer with 1200 maxijet w/fishline mod
    penguin 400 hob in sump

    Livestock:
    Assorted CUC
    2 false perc clowns, Spotted Hawkfish, Pink Spotted Goby, Neon Dottyback
    Green Zoa frag, frogspawn, 2 green hairy mushrooms, leather coral, bunch of assorted shrooms, and 2 feather dusters.

    What next?

    Finally starting to get somewhere. Need to pick up some more frags but i dont know what to get. I need things that are fairly hardy because i'm not able to keep my water quality 100% at all times yet. Hard to keep it up with a college students budget of about zip ha ha.
