I have a 56 gallon corner tank with a 75 gph protein skimmer, 10 gallon sump with live rock ( no bio balls ). 400 watt MH 12K with a lunar LED. I only have a flame angel and some damsels. I had to get rid of the other fish that were unsafe for the reef. I don't know all the names of my corals but I know 1 is a gonipora. It is my favorite. My tank has been a reef tank for 6 months but the tank has been established fro 3 years as a fish only. I am not running a water chiller or U.V sterilizer. No need right now. Any advice would be great.

Very nice tank. I like it. OK now for some advice. While you were getting rid of the fish that was not good for your reef you should have gotten rid of the flame. Many publications have them as "with caution". IMO they are not coral safe. He might be OK now but so was my dwarfs for 4 yrs before they wrecked havoc in my tank. Just keep a close eye out on him.

very nice pics and tank. to help with the coral IDs, the green fuzzies just behind and to the right of the Goniopora look like Green star polyps (often abbreviated GSPs). Also looks like you have some zoanthids and some leather coral frags too.

You may want to check online first before you buy from the LFS. They generally have high mark ups on non live stock kinds of things. E-bay is another good place to look

As Pat said, check on ebay for the RO/DI unit. I got mine off ebay and am very happy with it. You can pick one up for about $100 shipped.
