AbusiveSpinach's 40 Breeder Mixed Reef

[AbusiveSpinach]

Hello everyone! Welcome to my thread. I've had this tank up and running for about 8 months now. I have pictures of its earlier stages on my old phone, I may eventually update the thread with it if I ever feel like it. It has been through many iterations and will continue to change as I figure out exactly what I want to do with it. As of right now it is something of a display tank with a metric crap ton of extra frags/corals that I have been picking out to grow and trade. As it is so full, I am not planning to add any more animals for a while. Hopefully my frag tank will be up and running in the next couple of weeks so that I can give these babies some much needed room to grow.

My equipment:

• 40 breeder display, 20 sump
• Reefbreeders Photon 24 LEDs (planning to get some T5s at some point to light up the whole tank)
• Jebao 750 GPH Powerhead
• Reef Octopus 110-NT Skimmer
• Large filter sock + ChemiPure Blue
• SeaChem Matrix + Eschopps BioLux Biomedia
• Small refugium area for growing chaeto/caelurpa
• SmartATO

My fish/cleanup

• Gold Nugget Maroon female / Gold Nugget x Lightning male Clownfish
• Flasher Wrasse
• Pink Streaked Wrasse
• Rainford's Goby
• Wheeler's Goby
• Sea Cucumber
• Sea Hare
• Princess Conch
• Various crabs and snails

And that's it! I like to keep it simple. I also dose fuel and 2 part as needed and am planning on getting a dosing pump eventually.

Enough talk, here's the pictures:

This is a frag I picked up the other day as an echinata. The more I look at it the more I see bowerbankii but I suppose I'm just gonna have to wait . Godspawn bounce in front.

And some video to finish today:

Here's a couple more vids for good measure. Enjoy! (Pardon the detritus in the 1st video, I just turkey basted the sand bed a bit)
