So after at least 8 months of having a 13.5 Tank, I decided to upgrade my tank to a sexy looking one. Behold a Red Sea Reefer 170.

Tank: Red Sea Reefer 170 (BLACK)
Light: Ecotech Radion XR30 Gen3 Pro
Chiller: Aqua Euro 1/13th
Heater: Cobalt Neotherm 200 Watt
Return: Ecotech Vectra M1
Skimmer: Tunze 9004


Corals:
Euphylias
Zoas
Gorgonians

Livestocks:
4 Davinci Clownfish
3 Carribery Anthias
3 Lyrtail Anthias
1 Orchid Dorttyback
1 Flame Angelfish
3 Rainbow Bubble Tip Anemones
20+ Rock Flower Anemones
2 Clams (Gold and Blue)


I have refugium with Cheato, light runs reverse of my tank. I use Miracle Mud and has help made my system stable since I started. I use Reef Crystals and change 5 gallons of my water once every two week or as needed depending how corals look. We feed reef frenzy as it feeds all the tank inhabitants. I am using reefroids and benipets to help my zoa growth just so it can cover the rocks. after that I will discontinue the use.

Congratulations on your upgrade, beautiful tank and pictures :)
 
Sorry for the late update! I have been using Instagram platform as it is easily accessed. Lol. Since the last update, there a lot of changes. I started collecting more zoa, I had to rehome the 3 original clowns for 4 DaVinci Clownfishes, I added a Flame Angel, added more Rock Flower Anemone and 3 more gorgonians...

The tank is looking terrific and the photo's are just as terrific. Very nice!
 
Would love to see your sump area. Doing a build on a 170 after a 425XL. I did order a new sump
