i thought i would share my tank here since it seems to fit in this subforum.
here it the main tank thread if you would like to read thru it

tl;dr - it is a 250 dd tank with all biological filtration under solar tubes for the main lighting. it started as a captive only, but when the 70 percs i raised started trying to kill each other, it shifted directions.
i have a magnifica anemone that has been in the tank almost a year - the remaining pair of percs host it.
here it is shortly after adding it to the tank
at about the 8 month mark, i almost lost it to a mini tank crash - large tangs dug up part of the dsb. it was so bad that i thought it may be splitting like the bubble tip did at the same time. it lost all of its tentacles and its mouth stretched from one edge to the other of its oral disk.
after some tense time and some near constant feeding of tiny meals, it is well on the way to recovery.
here it is now that the clowns have moved back in
about two months ago i had the opportunity to pick up a gigantea from a fellow reefer. it had been in a tank for several months, but was not happy with a change he made in filtration (new type of biopelets).
here is what it looked like when i added it to the tank
it soon settled in and started expanding out to it current size. i have since redone the rock work to give it plenty of space. here it is about two weeks ago
here is what it does for a couple of hours pretty much every time i do a water change - the clowns dont appreciate it too much
i took a video of it today since there was some variation in the lighting with our partly cloudy skies - i will post it when it finishes processing.
