Nothing Fancy.

180g about 6 ft long, 4 ft wide, 3 ft deep (I think) ..Large enough anyway for me to bathe in, and deep enough that I have to stand on my toes to touch the sand bed.

Got a 90'ish gal sump underneath. SRO skimmer, Water blaster 10k pump (Both silent, love it) I run Bio pellets, GFO, and Carbon. I plan on feeding my Carbon and pellets maybe off the pump outlet at some point. The little mag drive pumps I have are kinda poopy.

The fish that I can remember:

Starry? Blenny
Yellow Wrasse
Cuban hog fish (getting rid of him)
Some kind of foxface rabbitfish (also going)
Juvenile Chevron Tang
Giant Yellow tang the size of the rabbitfish
Kauderns Cardinal
Royal Gamma Basslet
Firefish
Nemo Clown, Female.

Also have a black longspine urchin that was huge until I had to change its tank.

Tank has been running for about 8-10 months now. Originally I had just the yellow tang and the rabbit in there. Then I shut down my 90 and moved most everyone over.

Lighting is 2 Maxpsect razors with the wider optics. In the coming weeks I want to get them mounted from the ceiling. Right now they balance on my braces =\

I recently discovered Emerald entree, and everyone in my tank seems to absolutely love it except the cardinal. He still wants mysis.

I target feed my corals twice to three times a week with reef roids for the zoas, then I switch to mysis and frozen plankton for the bigger guys. I do a heavy feeding the night before a water change. I think this suspends enough stuff in the water column for everyone to have a good lunch.
