3yrs old. Had a crash about 10mos. ago everything died and I had to start from scratch NO SPS
All parameters are good except I run my nitrates around 10ppm
tank is 36x36x36 with center overflow with a Mag 18 return at 100% and 2 - MP40w on reef crest mode at 100%
36" sump with liverock in return and G4 ASM in center chamber with activated carbon sock replaced once a week. I do weekly water changes 30% reef crystals
I dose Ca, Mag and Alk twice a week and use Red Sea NOPOX everyday to keep NO3 and PO4 manageable.
I feed the Nems 3x a week krill soaked in Vitamin C and fish and corals every other day
Livestock:
2 Fireshrimp
1 Cleaner
3 Emerald crabs
Multiple blue legged crabs and nassarius snails
6 line wrasse
lawnmower blenny
yellow anthia
bangai cardinal
coral beauty
flame angel
4 Booyah clowns
Yellow belly damsel
also forgot I have 2 teal haddoni carpets. in the 5th pic you can see them on the bottom left side. the smaller one moved to the rock about 2mos ago and never left it

Cool, but I have to say - "Wow!" - 30% of 200+ gallons every week!
That is commitment - what does that come to - 75 gallons? Have you found that really necessary with a modest fish load (only 11 right?) and carbon dosing?
I only fixated on that due to the fact I usually only do 25% once a month on my tanks, and I have 12 fish in my one 40B (and have had it running for well over a year) and another 10 in my 45W...

They did not get along at first but after some time all is good. They were spaced about 2mos apart.
Ya, I find it excessive, but ive been doing that for the last 10mos and it seems to help. I may start every other. not exactly 30%. I do 45-55 gallon water changes, so approx. 25%.

Ahhh, that explains a lot - I dislike designer clowns, and had never heard of that breeder...
