Kano's Mixed Reef 225G

[Kano]

Hello everyone! I figure it's about time for me to post my tank up here. Upgraded my 90 gallon to a 225 :smile: and it's been set up since Aug. 31, 2012. Mixed reef and I've been trying to get some SPS in there but I don't think they enjoy my huge leather(s) being in the same tank. I only have a 6 bulb 48'' T5 on at the moment. Plan on upgrading lighting but easier said than done. Aqua C 180 skimmer that I can't get to skim very well. Any input on what to try/mod would be appreciated. Some cheato in the sump with LR. MP40 and Tunze 6080 for flow. Want to upgrade my flow as well but with those two I have a decent amount. On to the good stuff, pictures.

Awesome tank! Love the big toadstool.

Feb 2011 is when I got it. It was a Valentine's day gift for my girlfriend and after I explained each of the polyps is like a small flower she loved it. Now she loves it because it's huge and annoys me because of how much space it takes up. ~14 inches across, probably more. The base of it is about the same thickness as the entire toadstool was when I got it.

Absolutely awesome, how long have you had the White Cheek Tang?

I got the Powder Brown Tang Nov 03, 2010. He was in a 90 gallon but started to stress so I upgraded. He got ich because I took too long to upgrade. He fights with the Scopas Tang unfortunately so he still has spots, you just can't see it in that picture. I've had the Leopard Wrasse since Nov 10, 2010. Most of the other fish are relatively new. The clownfish I've had a long time as well but lost the female to an unknown disease a few months ago. Treated the male with Furan and that seemed to cure him. Still on the hunt for a date for him.
