Please excuse the shrimp box on the right hand side. Currently keeping peppermint shrimp there

Still can't get the color right with my camera. Real life color look much better than this. Anyone want to help?

Thanks for the kind comment

I love the rimless cubes they look great. I love the room you have left yourself for growth and good choice with the radions ( I have seen good results with these)

Don't know why but this little RBTA decided to come out and stick to the clam after hiding in the cave for a week. Match made in heaven?

1 x Blue eye tang (aka 2 spot bristletooth tang)
2 x Black ice clownfish
9 x Blue eye anthias (lyretail anthias)

3 x Orchid dottyback
1 x Cleaner wrasse
2 x Cleaner shrimp

Top shot.

Additional compartment to to keep sump area as clean as possible for easier maintenance.

Mixing tank and top up tank are on the bottom section.

You have a very nice setup. One day I hope mine can be as nice as your

thanks for the compliments. Appreciate it a lot. I would still consider myself as a newbie in keeping reef tank..

Update:
added very shallow sand bed to my tank yesterday with 3 sand shifter starfish. Removed 3 acros and dip into coral RX which killed off over 10 AEFW. Currently no acro in my tank and hopefully AEFW will starve to death.

cute couple in my tank.

 

[JDT Reef]

Before you added the sand, how did the clam do on bare bottom? Did it attach? Or did it always fall over?

 

[prox]

they are doing okay but I have removed all the clam and pass over to a friend. Planning to get Maxima instead of Crocea.

 

[owenspackman]

wow, beautiful tank, thanks for sharing!
