Some pics of my BB 220 at 8 months. Most of the corals were from my other tanks that i tore down, its alot easier to have one big tank that a bunch of tiny tanks hehe
stock list
Fish,
naso tang
blue hippo tang, his name is Nathan and hes my baby, i got him when he was the size of a quarter
4 ocellaris clowns
onyx clown that ive had for over four years now
11 green chromis, i had 13 but two went missing
black blenny
lawn mower blenny
coral beauty
royal gramma
and the typical cleanup crew including a sally litefoot crab that eats my bubble coral
Corals are mainly softees with a few LPS

Equipment is cheap, seriously i think i broke every rule with this tank, not that im bragging but its all tap water conditioned with prime, canister filter, UV sterilizer, cheapo hang on the back skimmer (prizm) and a whisper HOB, 2 koralia #4's, light is a power compact 4x96 watts? i believe but i kinda forgot what the wattage is...im a reef DONT lol

Beemo and his host candycane, both are over 4 years old

lol i know right :lol:
I chose to go bare bottom cuz i was tired of sand on the corals, sand storms and algae on the sand
I got used to the look, now i dont even notice theres no sand anymore
with no sand you can have all the flow you want pointing anywhere you want

Heres a pic, a bit fuzzy though. He was 49.99 four years ago, i think they still cost around that. All the clowns get along pretty good now. At first they chased the tiny one really bad all over the tank for about a month, then they just left him alone. Funny hes the only one that never grew, so i wonder if i have all females (including the onyx) and that tiny little one remained male?
The tiny one you can see in the pic with the colt coral at the beginning of this post, hes only about an inch while the others are about 2.5-3 inches.
At night they all sleep together in the corner of the glass. Clowns, what oddballs, they host in corals during the day but at night they stick to the glass like glue lol
