Love them clownfish.
my tanks have recovered enough since my move in september to warrant cleaning everything up, wiping down the glass and taking a few pictures.
the system is composed of a 60 gallon cube and a 45 gallon cube tied to the same 50 gallon sump. each tank is illuminated by 400w XM 20k bulbs and two 24" T5 actinic + bulbs. each tank has two sea swirls fed from a single reeflo dart. in the 60 gallon, two korallia 4s provide additional flow. an ASM G4 provides the filtration as well as a phosphate reactor and the occasional filter sock. i do 45 gallon water changes every 4 to 6 weeks, sometimes longer. i dose about 5 mL of vodka every morning. i feed mysis, cyclopeeze, formula 1 and 2 flakes and aquadine pellets. three nights a week i also feed phytoplankton, oyster eggs and rotifers.
the 60 gallon houses:
- amphiprion nigripes
- three heteractis magnifica
- ten blue damsels
- five chromis
- two dragon face pipefish
- pink streaked wrasse
- possum wrasse
- two red margined wrasses
- two cleaner shrimp
- two harlequin shrimp
- anemone shrimp
- strawberry crab
- two emerald crabs
- japanese pistol shrimp
the 45 gallon houses:
- amphiprion tricinctus
- heteractis crispa
- harlequin tusk
- flame hawk
- lawnmower blenny
- diamond goby
- crimson tip longfin

Nice to see its still running. Nowadays its mixed reef and if i remember correctly back then it was more like anemone dedicated, right? That aquarium inspired me with dream aquarium Id like to build one day. Something like 3 tanks with inner owerflows to each other and one sump. Still dunno if Id design em as cubes or hexagonal prisms. Cubes are easier to build (and i could possibly use the lighting i already have) but i think prisms would just look better.
