Bay Area Reefers

I figure I'd may as well start a tank thread, since all of the cool kids are starting one

Maybe later down the line I will start a small tank thread on my 15g BTA tank Nothing really ever changes in that tank though ... just nine BTA's and two ocellaris, nothing else.

Anyways, back to the chase. I got this tank from another reefer, used. The previous owner to myself, created an external "coast to coast-ish" overflow box attached to the back of the tank. The inside the overflow box fashioned in a flooded drain style. Dead silent 99% of the time -it's beautiful
As far as equipment is concerned, I do not have an extensive array of fancy toys.
I have the basic in's & out's; here goes.

The tank:
Bare bottom 33g Oceanic Cube
14g custom sump to fit into the matching Oceanic stand
~8g in the sump, for ~41g total system volume
The tanks return line is drilled though the right panel of the tank

Lighting:
Current USA 150w Sunpod w/ Phoenix bulb

Filtration:
35 lbs. live rock
Euro-Reef RS-80, with mesh-mod

Circulation:
Eheim 1260 return pump
(2) Hydor Koralia 2's for in tank circulation

Heating:
(2) 150w heaters

I have an 8-switch DJ Power Panel fastened to the inside of my stand, so I can control power to the equipment I fiddle with the most.

No ATO here either ... my sump area is pretty tight as is, and I fear I'd just break a float switch if I had one in my sump.
Rather, I got this idea from Jimmy (nanoguy); I have a five gallon bucket filled with top off water, and inside the bucket I have a pump that pushes water from the bucket via poly vinyl tubing into my sump when I want to top off. All I do is flip a switch to turn the pump on and off, and make sure the bucket has water in it

Livestock:
(3) Green chromis, Chromis viridis
(2) Tail-spot blennies, Ecsenius stigmatura
(1) ORA Orchid Dottyback, Pseudochromis fridmani
(1) Pink skunk clown, Amphipirion perideraion
(1) Six-line wrasse, Pseudocheilinus hexataenia
(2) Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp, Lysmata amboinensis
(1) Blue Knuckle Hermit Crab, Calcinus elegans?
Additionally, I have a handful of Trochus and Turbo snails to clean up any algal matter my blennies miss

Feeding: I feed my fish four to five times a week, a blend of Hikari mysis, spectrum pellets, and cyclopeeze. I add some Reef Nutrition Oyster Feast to my tank every morning, and wow the corals go nuts!

I do not have a calcium reactor, or a refugium. I currently dose two-part solution daily. I am diligent about performing 10% weekly water changes.

As far as corals go, it is a grab bag of whatever I found interesting, really. I am not necessarily into the whole "name-brand" coral thing that many others are. I just get what I like, haha All in all, definitely nothing rare. Acropora, Fungia, Seriatopora, Montipora's (digitata is my favorite by far!!!), zoanthids, palythoas, a gorgonian, mushrooms, Favia, Favites, Caulastrea, Duncans, Clavularia, and a small Sarcophyton. That's all I can recall off the top of my head at the moment.
Just a big mixed lot of SPS, LPS, and softies.

So, nothing super fancy -but heack, it all works
I am currently working on a full tank shot ... it is harder than I thought to get a decent one. I'll be sure to get that up in the near future. For now, I'll throw up a couple pictures of my livestock.
