As you can see in the picture with the clowns they have taken it upon themselves to host my hammer coral. Some days it does not mind next day its not happy.

Welcome to the Cube Club, very impressive setup. How long have you had this system setup?

The system is running about 1 year now and have been upgrading along the way. I added the sump and overflow as i wanted a fuge for pods for the Mandrin. He is in there about 5 months now and very fat The idea for going rimless i seen some others had done this and had to try. I had the radion mounted inside the hood before but much happier now with the mount and rimless look.

Beautiful tank! I love mixed reefs the best...

Any issues with the Flame Angel and your corals? I have wanted one, but have two friends who both had to get rid of flame angels when they started getting coral-hungry.

Thanks for the nice comments The flame has a taste for trachyphyllia corals so i just did away with them. He has not touched anything else at all. I have a auto feeder feeding 2 times a day to keep him fed and it seems to have worked as he has not touched anything for the last 4 months. He did make bits of a sponge i had but took it out and put in my frag tank and let grow and add some from time to time for him to demolish.

A little bit more on some products i use on in my tank.
Salt :Aquaforest probiotic reef salt.
Additives i use daily: Aqua forest AF Energy , Aqua forest AF Vitality ,Aqua forest NP Pro , Aqua forest Iodum , Aqua forest AF Amino mix , Aqua forest AF Build ,Aqua forest Pro bio S. I also use purple up maybe 1 time per week when i do a water change. As i have aragonite substrate my CA and MG stay very stable and the purple up can mess with my KH if have noticed if i use each day.
