Nuvo 20
AI Prime (not HD)
No IM socks, In-Tank baskets- using polyester filter floss
~20lbs Fiji live rock
~8lbd Fiji pink aragonite
No skimmer (trying to keep it that way)
No media reactor (might change that)
No ATO (trying to change that)

I'm currently keeping 2 captive black ocellaris, 2 sexy shrimp, 1 cleaner shrimp, 3 different montipora, 2 different cyphastrea, an Aussie toadstool, Aussie green finger leather, Aussie green cabbage leathers, 2 Caribbean gorgonians (not sure on species), a bunch of zoas/palys/acans/lobos/chalices/gonis etc.

I'm doing 5 gallon changes, weekly. I am adding about a half gallon of water twice a day. I try to do it as frequently as possible but.. well, you know.
I want an ATO, once I get one I will stop dosing 2 part (plus Magnesium, ESV). I plan to use kalk in my top off water as that has gross high yields in the past.. obviously this isn't a grow out/frag tank but who doesn't wanna bulk them up?!

Speaking of bulking up I dose ME Corals Polyp Extender as well as Polyp Boost. 3 times a week I feed a food similar to reefroids/coral Frenzy that my company makes. 5-15 minutes later I go in and spot feed mysis/cyclops OR LRS Reef Frenzy.

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!

Nice tank and progress. I am looking to begin my Fusion 20 journey myself this coming weekend now that dry reef rocks are ready.

btw - do you have a galaxea in the middle of the tank? if you do, what those sweeping tentacles as they're sting
 
Very nice for no skimmer! Would you recommend a mini maxi anemone in a mixed reef for some sexy shrimp? Thanks!

Maybe.. it depends. I don't think I will be adding any anemones other than maybe flower anemones
 
Is that a Goniopora I see? If so, pay extra attention as they are generally expert only. I have its cousin the alveopora which are also high maintenance
