This tank is a year old, including the 6 months I waited for the live rock to be cleansed of any unwanted presences(I am happy I waited those 6 months, because I have have never seen any bristle worms or aiptasia). The tank's lighting set up is 4 compact fluorescents, 2 are regular and 2 are Blue Light.
My corals are...
Scolymia Venitius(I believe that is how you spell it)
Bubble Coral with a red sponge attached
Purple Mushrooms
GSP(It is changing from green to white, but the polyps are extended and it seems healthy, is it okay?)
Ring of Ice and Orangutan nipple Zoas
Frogspawn(only one head)
Full grown Tan Toadstool and two very young ones
Blastamusa Wellsi
Gold Finger Leather
Orange Fungia
One Ricordea and one Ricordea Yuma

My Invertebrates
A huge Coral Banded Shrimp
Two Ememrald Crabs, one is red
~3 nerites, ~2 trochus, ~3 Astrea, ~2 juvenile nerites, and 1 nassarius snail
~12 Hermit Crabs
A tube worm
and a fighter conch

My Fish
Picasso Clown
Royal Gramma
Yellow Spotted Watch Man Goby
I also have some Halimeda algae
I will post some picture of my tank soon.

Thats a nice stocking list. Can you tell us more about your filter system, dosing, water changes, anything else you do to maintain the system? Is this a red sea max aquarium? Can't wait to see pictures. Hows the halimeda doing?

I forgot to say that I have a limpet(it is mobile). I do water changes once a week. In my filtration system I have a filter sponge for getting rid of the scum it filters, after that it goes through carbon(it takes out any poison and other stuff), after that it goes through a skimmer and out through my pumps. I dose calcium and alkalinity every month, or more if something happens. I am attaching some of the Halimeda to a small rock so I can put it in my filtration system as a natural form of filtration.

Halimeda sp. macro algae is not that great of a "natural form of filtration" but it's great for sucking up you calcium Wink

My Hermit Crabs killed a lot of my snails, they killed a nerite(and stole its shell), they killed a trochus(they dd not steal its shell, my nassarius got attacked,too, and my fighter conch died while I was on vacation(I do not know why it died, though it definitely did not starvation). The good news is I spotted a baby nerite on the glass so there probably a bunch in my rock work.
