What are ya using for lighting? MH is the way to go. I "used" to be in the hobby. It got outta hand money wise (or I got outta hand)This is the last tank I had done.
45g Hex
250watt 10K MH
1 ?watt 50/50 powercompact
20gallon custom refugium under the tank
1 copperband butterfly
1 royal gramma
1 longnose hawk
1 weird arse blenny
bazillion blue leg hermits
a lot of scarlett hermits
various weird snails as well as atreas and turbos
and a true Perc clown
corals were 1 rose bubbletip anemone
a LOT of mushrooms
a LOT of zooanthids
a few leathers
and a fu$%load of aptasias (the reason I finally quit!)
But nothing as big as what you have goin on!!! Nice tank!!!
