My 400 Gallon Reef Update

[e55MD]

It's been a very long time since I uploaded any pictures of my reef tank. It's really thriving now. My clown trigger that I got as a juvenile 3.5 years ago has grown really large and is still a model citizen.

Eye candy for sure. Icing on the cake is that trigger in a reef. Any inverts?

ali1- I have 5-6 starfish, several hundred hermit crabs and an anemone (that splits 2-3 times per year. I remove all except for 1)

Beautiful. Love the Queen Angel any problem with corals?

 

[e55MD]

lionfish 300- by trial and error (and lots of money on devoured corals) I figured out which ones get left alone by my fish. The result is that a have a decent variety of corals although there are many others I would like to have if I had a more traditional reef tank filled with "reef friendly" fish. I have reached a nice compromise by being able to keep angelfish and the clown trigger in my reef. I think I have been able to succeed in this endeavor by keeping my fish very well fed.
I got the queen angel as a juvenile from Live Aquaria Divers Den when it was barely 2" big.
