Thought I would post a pic to show you my achievement and would like your opinions please.

I would say work on the lights to help bring out more color. Then add a few corals to really brighten up the tank.

Hey Trace. Just wondering about the details of this tank.

What Size is it?
What is the Stocklist?
What are you using as a filter?
What are you using as a powerhead?
Lighting?

Anything else you might think to add, as I am really keen on getting a Blue Tang like you have in your picture.

Hi,
Ok Its a 105g tank, 80kg live rock, 1400lph powerhead, otto 450g cannister (for now getting sump made), 2 48 watt sunshine globes and 1 48 watt moonshine globe, used a combination of plenium and deep sand for base (argonite and lime stone). Using an otto 40 protein skimmer and a 15 watt uv sterilizer.

Salinity is 0.021 used synthetic salt, temp 24C.

Stock list at the moment is 2 Anphiprion akindynos, 2 Amphiprion polymnus, 1 blue tang, 1 red coral anthias, 1 manderine, 1 coral beauty and 2 neon damsels. Would like to add a flame angel, banana wrass and a few butterflys.

I have a jardini coral, 2 radianthis anemones and 2 more soft coral that i dont know the name of for sure so not going to guess. Planning to get more corals today maybe some green brain, frog spawn soft, and what ever else looks good.

What do you guys think, can I change anything or what else do I need.

Trace
