    Just moved from a 29g to this 92g corner and loving it. Set this all up yesterday after the tank cycled, acclamation hoses were everywhere, lol. Sorry about the bad quality pics they are from a phone, we left the camera charger on our last vacation.....oops.

    I have a cheap 250w 20k MH, 65w 50/50 pc, and 2 20w actinic t8.
    working on the new bulbs not sure what to get yet. Prob keep the t8's change the 50/50 to actinic and buy a good bulb for the MH. Just hope that i can get my coral to pop like others i have seen pics of.

    I have a superskimmer 220 in a 20g rubbermaid that I actually like better then the 20g glass sump I had before. I wont have to top off as often without the baffles I used egg crate to build a stand for filter media and filter socks then it falls into the tub and the skimmer and the return pump hit. I had used a refugium in my last tank but did not think it really helped enough without being large scale.

    I had a tank crash after the fall frag swap and lost all but a few

    1 tiny dendro survived of 7 that I had
    pink ring zoas
    eagle eye zoas
    unknown green zoas
    kriptonite candy cane that the heads fell from the branches
    hammer coral that also fell from branch
    and yesterdays purchase of purple bonsai
    and yesterdays purchase of nightmare zoas

    My fish
    scopas tang
    orange shoulder tang
    pink tale trigger
    and the regular clean up crew

    Cool tank and fish. I don't know if it's applicable, but the snails you have look like astrea snails and some of them are on their side. They can't right themselves so you may want to turn them over so they can continue on their way.

    I've heard that, but my astreas right themselves all the time. I never help them! Does that make me mean? lol But they turn themselves over.
