Well here it is, my first reef....
It is a 55 gal dutch style acrylic tank.

2x 36" NO actinics
Tronic 250 watt heater
DIY Skimmer
4x 300gph power heads
(getting drilled and adding a refugium VERY soon.)
Livestock (not much yet, tank has only been up a few months):
100lbs Fiji rock
110 lbs DSB
1 12" LTA
1 Lawnmower Blenny
40 assorted snails/crabs
2x fire shrimp

Anyway please feel free to point out things i can change to make it better. As i said this is my first reef so i am unsure of what i am doing ( I have not seen any other reef's in person to see if i am doing it right or not).
Last saltwater tank i did was 15+ years ago with an undergravel filter and a shop light. how the times have changed.
