    Here are some pics of my 60 Gallon Hexagon Reef tank. I only have 2 new frags as of now (Pulsing Xenia & GSP). And I only have a small Damsel. I have around 50-60lbs of live rock. I'm running a Bak-Pak Skimmer and an Aquaclear Filter. I also have a Coralife Aqualight with a 150 watt 20,000K bulb.

    What do you guys think? Suggestions/comments welcome!

    Hey that looks sweet. nice start for sure.
    One thing I would be somewhat concerned about is the air/gas exchange-- or lack thereof. If setting up an overflow and sump is just not possible, try positioning one of those pumps in a way that it creates a lot of surface movement.
    Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken :)

    Thanks for your suggestion! Unfortunately, I don't have the room for a sump. I'm running a BakPak and an Aquaclear Filter. The Aquaclear does a pretty good job at creating surface movement.
