Aquarium Advice Regular
Tank has been up and running for a year and a half now doing pretty well I think. Been reading a lot of posts here and I think I broke a couple rules but so far it has worked for me. I'm always looking for advice though so please let me know any suggestions.
First of all tang police please don't yell at me. The tangs are only temporary while my friend's aquarium cycles and gets started. Yes I know 72 is too small for one let alone 2 but the LFS sold them to my friend who only had a 30 gallon so I feel like I'm helping at least. They are going to a 200ish tank in the next few months and if it hasn't happened by September I'll take them to the store or get rid of them. So far they have been very healthy and I upped my water changes because they are messy. I can't help but enjoy them even if it is briefly.
Secondly.. Now after reading some posts on here I know this might upset some people but I do not have a sump I have a canister filter *gasp* I know. Crazy right? Yes it requires maintenance but I am good at keeping up with it. I would eventually like to switch over but for now it is staying. Also have a HOB protein skimmer.
I have LED lights and I'm gonna find out exactly what they are. One 48" strip white and blue ones and one 24"strip that is super cool and does the whole sunrise and sunset thing that I love.
Current stock
2 yellow tang
2 snowflake clowns
1 royal gramma
2 azure damsels
2 engineer gobies
Cleanup crew
Torch coral
Neon green candy cane coral (I think)
Bubble coral
Elegance coral
Open brain coral
Waving hand Xenia
Kenya tree
Long tentacle plate coral
Couple zoa frags
Rock flower anemone (came as a hitch hiker been with me since the beginning)
Long tentacle anemone

Anemone went for a stroll. Wasn't too happy with the gobies. If it detaches again I'll return it
Brain
New zoa's can anyone ID?
And I guess I just reached my upload limit for pics.. What do I do?
Testing water now because I'm sure I will be asked. Thanks for reading
