Well its time for an update! Stock list is now,
Tank bred blue hippo tang
2 occilerus clowns
Diamond watchman goby
Sea Hare
emerald crab
2 urchins
2 astrea snails
Mexican turbo snail
Cleaner shrimp

Everything is doing great! I added 2 korilia 650 power heads and am up to 80# of live rock. Anymore and I'm afraid I'll run out of room, this stuff is really light for its size.

Looks good, though the hippo tang will have to rehomed later on. What kind of rock is that?

 

[Diesel84]

It is Fiji rock. Local LFS says 80# is like 140# of other rock

Wow, it looks good. I use key reef largo in mine

Thanks. Still a work in progress. Does anyone know what's best, algae discs or the strips? I have been using discs left over from my freshwater tank, they are good for salt too but disappear fast, would strips be better?

I use dried seaweed blocks and highly recommend them. Fish and inverts love them
