Nyghtfires 75 gallon reef.

[Nyghtfire]

Gday. Thought I'd share my reef with everyone since after months of lurking I signed up.
I recently upgraded my 45 gallon to this 75 gallon. So please excuse my wall of pumps. They are temporary until my powerhead arrives.
The filter is only temporary aswell and was just in there to stop sand cloud.

Specs
Tank 48x18x20
Lighting 4 bulb t5 54 watt plus moonlights.
1/2 hp hailea chiller.
400w of heater 2x 200w.
Skimmer can't remember brand but working really well.
000 aragonite sand.
12kg of live rock in tank.
Unknown amount of base rock.

Livestock
2x oscellaris clownfish.
1x dottyback (exact species name I do not remember.
1x coral beauty
1x domino damsel
1x yellow damsel
6+ turbo snails + plenty of babies (been breeding like rabits)
1x red hawkfish. (unable to tell exact species)

Coral
3x zoa colony's unidentified exact type
1x red morph ( never bought it just showed up on live rock as a tiny dot of a coral)
6x purple morphs
1x long tentacle plate coral (doubled in size since I bought it.
2x hammer corals.

2x unidentified hairy mushroom.

I don't think I forgot anything but if I have I will add to it.

Please feel free to offer any advice or corrections for me. No ones perfect.

Oh with the damsels I've been monitoring them carefully over 6 months for aggression none as of yet. The female clown seems to keep them in line. Or I lucked out big time.

Oh I should apologize for low quality pictures all done off of iPhone as I cannot locate camera.

Welcome to AA. I love your reef, it is beautiful.

Thankyou still not done though. My goal is to obtain some more zoas and morphs in different colours + another hammer or a leather coral.
Zoas being my favorite coral I'd really like to dedicate roughly 1/2 of the tank to them and create a colorful zoa garden.

I don't know much about saltwater but I'm sure that would be lovely...Good luck!

I think I'm years of my goal but one day it will be.

Thanks hacktek

Yellow damsel showed aggression so it's out still none from domino.
Yellow damsel beat up my new cardinal and regal tang.
(I am aware 75 gallons is not enough for a full grown tang when he hits 5 inches I've organized him to go live in a friends 8x3x2)

Sadly with work and study in the new year 97 hours combined. I've taken down my reef and donated livestock to friends who have the resources to take it.
I couldn't bare to watch the tank suffer as I doubt I would have had time to maintain it.

Is that an angel in there? How does he do with the coral?

 

[Nyghtfire]

The coral beauty. In the year + never touched the coral, he's currently swimming in an sps reef.
