    You've all now seen my tank come to life from the beginning. It's great to look back and see how far along it has come.

    So far my livestock consists of the following:
    1 false perc clown
    1 green chromis
    1 bangaii cardinal

    various mushrooms and zoa's
    1 yellow ric
    1 branching frogspawn
    1 toadstool leather

    Parameters are all good and the tank pretty much takes care of itself. I do a 5 gallon water change with RO/DI water and Oceanic salt once every month to month and a half now.

    Run BRS brand GFO in my reactor and throw in a bag of cheap aquaclear carbon in the sump.

    Feed a pellet type marine food every morning and started mysis shrimp every few days in the evening for the cardinal.

    I dose nothing. I just do water changes now and then when the algae starts to take over. My mushrooms are always growing and the zoa's spread like crazy. My clown and chromis are happy as can be.

    I had a slight battle with aptasia but a nice sized peppermint shrimp took care of those for me!

    All in all it's a simple system, with a big price tag, that needs little maintenance.
