29 gallon Oceanic made out of 3/8” Starfire Glass. Ordered through Eddie at Alamo Aquatics about six-seven years ago? Ace (Mike) had it about a year before I set it up this time.
Here it goes:
This setup has been together for almost a year
Lighting consist of 4-24w T5HO ATI Special, Giesemann Actinic, two URI one actinic and one 11K on 12 hours a day. Temperature stays at 75-76 with a heater/AC
Filter is an Emperor 400 with filter fluff on one side and rubble on the other
Extra circulation provided by korillia nano
Gravel bed consist of 4” crushed shell, sand, course gravel for a jaw fish
20 pounds of live rock
Fish – Baby Chevron, Pair of Clownfish, PJ the Pearly Jaw fish, Mandy the Mandarin
Crabs consist of Scarlet’s and Hawaiian Zebras
Corals – Candy Cane, Purple and Red with Purple Spot Mushrooms, Green Zoos, Small Flower Pot, GSP, and Miscellaneous SPS (couple I just got from BSJF)
Maintenance consist of changing filter fluff once a week, five gallons of fresh saltwater a week and two part a & b when needed
In the future I will move the pair of clowns to my 300 and in a year or two the Chevron will have to be sold since I already have one in my 300. Originally had a problem with hair algae but except for a little bit I leave on the glass for the Tang, it is non-existent.

This is my third time with SPS, first time (2005) was not to good when my lighting died and so did my SPS except for one piece of Monti(Ace-Mike still has this piece). Second time was in my 158 at work and I had the Monti and a 1" piece of Slimmer that turned into a giant 12" piece that I fragged and sold when I sold the tank. I have always liked LPS because it is more forgiving sometimes.
