voltz7320's 50 mixed reef upate

[voltz7320]

So awhile ago I posted "Josh's 50 start up ideas" and this is an update to that thread. Since then I have added another 20lbs of live rock and changed my aqua scape completely. I ran into a few problems with a carpet anemone that was eating everything in the tank(about$200 worth of fish). I also added added a lot of new corals. At the bottom of this post I will add the original thread mentioned above so I don't have to repeat everything about the hardware of this setup.


Zoas:
1 TECO Pink Nebulas
2 Dragon Eyes
3 Greenbay Packers & Radio Active Dragon Eyes Combo
4 Blue Daisies
5 Posideons Armor
And a couple other varieties I cant remember their names.

This is the old post:

I haven't had a tank in a few years and I got this 55 for free so decided to try a reef tank again. It's a 55 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump and a 100 gallon in sump skimmer. The return pump creates 700gph of water flow and I have a 750gph power head that disrupts the flow so different areas of the tank have different amounts of water flow. For lighting I have a 165 watt Apollo LED fixture that in my opinion was well worth the money, I have had the tank set up for only a month and have had huge coraline algae growth and everything in the tank is vibrant and healthy. Right now I have a zoo colony and a colony of green metallic star polyps. For fish and inverts a fire fish, gold banded maroon clown, large green true carpet anemone, decorator crab, 2 sand sifting starfish, lots of different crabs and snails, lots of feather dusters, and several other things that I'm not sure what they are,came on the live rock. The carpet anemone was a bad idea as it has taken over a large portion of the tank floor.
