We will update this page every few months as the tank grows
Purchased the tank with minimum amount of rock as a FOWLR that I am wanting to add some corals to and really learn from. It will be going through some transformation hopefully over the next few months.
Current setup
135 gallon
Soon to be in a canopy, but now just 'above' the tank for a few more days -
36" 192w power compact, 36" T5 unit two bulb 39w actinic and 39w 10000k, and 2-250 10K metal halides.
2 to 3 inches (90lbs fine sand and 20 lbs crushed coral that I added, plus the 30lbs of crushed coral that was in there) depending on where the clowns have made their paths
50 lbs original rock, 76 lbs just purchased rock - all LR though.
Wet/dry with bio balls that I am researching on changing to a refugium
Protein skimmer - Aquarium systems but unsure of ?? model #
1 power head (not sure of type, but soon to be upgraded)
1 yellow striped maroon clownfish with its sebae anemone
1 tomato clownfish
1 yellow tang
1 sailfin tang
1 fish that I have no clue what he is but was told is a brack water fish that was rescued (silver with yellow on the bottom fin, thin like a tang)
3 of the plain regular blue/purple damsels that are always at the LFS
1 3 striped damsel
1 medium open green brain
1 clam darsea

Above - First night. Had to place the fish in due to stress in the holding tank. There was still ALOT of sand in it that was not settled. Everyone survived and by morning, the tank was clear.
This is the night that we added the additional rock, plus the clown, anemone, brain, and some misc stuff living on the rocks. VERY EXCITING!
Rock rearranged to look more natural. Built some caves and 'play' areas. Will be painting the background at the same time as the stand and the canopy.
