I am a new member here but I started this tank in November 2010. This is my first SW tank and I am really enjoying it. The FTS below is from late september, i will post latest FTS soon. Please excuse the colors in the pictures as I am still trying to figure out how to take pictures under LED.
FTS
Equipment
Fluval Edge Tank
Nanocustoms 3.6 LED Fixture for Fluval Edge
Panorama 12 Module 3-453nm Blue/ 9-6500K White
Stock Filter AC20 with BRS carbon, GFO and filter floss
CoolWorks Ice Probe Chiller
MP10es
Rena SmartHeater Aquarium Heater, 50W
I use D-D H2Ocean Magnesium Pro PLUS Salt Mix
Livestock
Fish and Inverts
ORA Ocellaris
ORA Black Ocellaris
1 Blue Legged Hermit Crab
1 Red Legged Hermit Crab
Nassarius snail, Margarita snail, Trochus snail & dwarf cerith snails
1 Pom Pom Crab
1 Emrald crab
1 porcelain crab
The clownfish and most of the inverts except emrald crab have been in my tank for almost 10 months. I use to have a pair of peppermint shrimp and they lived for almost 5 months and then they both died on the same day.
Corals
Lavendar Mushrooms
Blue Mushrooms
GSP
Ricordeas Florida and Yuma
Tyree Toadstool and Long Polyp Toadstool
Zoanthids
Palythoas
Acanthastrea
Green nepthea
Frogspawn
Hammer
Duncan
Trumpet coral
Pink birdsnest
Green stylophora
Blastomussa
War coral
Mini Anemones
Galaxea (not a great choice for small tank like this as they have really long sweeper tentacles)
Most of the corals listed above were bought as small frags and now I have really nice colonies. The SPS growth is slow but I am fine with it. I do not dose anything in my tank and just do 30-40% weekly water changes. I had to go on a business trip for 4 months and the tank survived with just weekly water changes and feeding only the clownfish. There was no target feeding of corals during that time.
Fluval Edge is a tricky tank to work with but its a good starter tank. Due to limited space I did make use of the walls by using Frag Mags to mount my toadstool coral, GSP, Frogspawn and Hammer coral on the side and back walls. I think I am ready for an upgrade and my next tank would be an Innovative Marine Nuvo.
