    Thanks Everyone,

    The tank is a standard 48 inch 90 Gallon. I think the key to the corals has been the refugium and the lighting. The refugium keeps the nitrate levels down and so I rarely clean anything. I just change the water once a month. The T5 lighting also has been really good, low heat and the corals love it. I added SPS (Montipora and Seriatopora) and they are doing great as well.

    Stock:
    Yellow Tang
    Six Line Wrasse
    2 Occelaris Clowns
    Purple Fire Fish

    Corals:
    Toadstool Leather
    Finger Leather
    Xenia
    Star Polyps
    Frogspawn
    Multiple types of Zoanthids
    Crocea Clam
    Button Coral
    Open Brain
    Acan Coral
    Cup Coral
    Tree Coral
    Maxima Clam
    Montipora
    Green Birds nest
    Torch Coral
    Trumpet Coral
    Various Mushrooms
    Coco Worm

    That's great. How much T5 lighting do you have? What kind of skimmer?
    That Toadstool is a tower!

    The tank has 6 T5's... 2 Actinic, 2 Daylight, and 2 O3 (Purple). 54 Watts each. I also do not run a skimmer. Just a refugium with a bunch of Calupera. Seems to work very well because I really dont get any algae growth in the tank.

    The Toadstool, Finger Leather, and Cup coral in the tank are almost 11 years old. They survived all the years I was trying to learn how to keep a reef tank...If they grew through all that, I think they will be here for a long time :)
