The mission is ccomplete, now i watch

I finally got my 65 Gallon Tank set the way I wanted, less a sump. I use a Bak Pak 2 (less Bio Balls), CPR 18” Hang on Refugium with live rock, live sand and plants. It has 14Watt PC, which operates on a timer. I use 2 PC Lights each 184 Watts. I have three Hagen 301 Air Jets running on a Natural Wave Timer. The tank has approximately 65-70 Lbs of Live Rock and live Sand from old tank that was in operation for 2 years. The Moon Lamp adds a great Night time show. I use no charcoal filters, what is your opinion on this? I am setting up a 6 stage DI/RO Filter Tuesday, so hopefully this will help reduce algae.

Fish-
Green Mandarin
Mated pair of Maroon Clown Fish. The female does a great job clouding the tank and redecorating my nice clean sand bead.
Coral Beauty, one of the prettiest I have seen, he has a bark blue body, like a velvet toy. He thinks he is a clownfish to the point of entering the BTA.
One last thing to get is a yellow Tang, even though people do not recommend them since my tank is only 36” but is 18” Wide and 24” High. Input on this??

Corals
Just added two batches of Xenia which I want to take over the upper level of my rock work. I have been told these will spread like wildfire, can’t wait.
The bottom realm is mainly various Mushrooms.

Invertebrates-

My Bubble Tip Anemone in one month has gone from a 2” critter to a 6” beast and does not look he will stop growing soon. LFS told me to feed him Selcon Twice a week and he will grow. He will be taking over the entire side wall.

So with all said now I must patiently wait
Thing to watch-
If my BTA splits ?
How fast my Xenia will spread?
Cool think about this is it cost me nothing out of pocket. Sold all my old games (Warhammer), Some Comics, and my wives close (she lost 60 Pounds, looking sexy!) But f I sell my Wife maybe I could get a 200 Gallon Tank  I had $1,500.00 run on e-bay! If it was not for E-Bay I would have a Betta in a bowl.

 

Sounds like a good set up to me. Keep us posted on what's happening! Maybe my wife needs to talk to your wife! Ha!

Ditto on the ebay props!
