5.5 Invert reef

alt="" />I reworked the intake for the Ac 70 so I could mount a power head under it and removed the K nano and put the plate coral in its place. I also added two new zoes to the tonga rock next to the Ac 50 intake and a different type of candy cane to the left side the new corals came from Blue planet in McDonough out of the $5 section
 
Nice. That's a beautiful crab! I plan on having 10 or 15 of those in my 67 gallon. I think I'll go with the Anemone Porcelain rather than the Blue, though. IME the Blue stay hidden a lot more.
 
those are some crazy colors on that crab! you're tank is further convincing me to set up an invert tank of my own...
 
There are alot of nice ones that are often over looked but with a little research it will work. Just pick the main invert you want and things that will get along with it. I stared with the bumble bee shrimp and added to them.

is there any aggression between any of them?
 
They all get along without any trouble with the exception of the bumble bee shrimp and the snails. The bees find it entertaining to pinch the snails and make them go inside there shell.
 
This has been runing for over a year now with only two feedings a week. The copapods help between feedings and ampipod population in the macronever gets very large. Is there anything else I could add to the system that would serve as a living reproductive food source?
 
Added a new mushroom and acan that I bought in vero beach florida last week

Arrived home to find that the Ac70 hadn't been working due to loosing its prime so it's back up and running for now. But the incident has gotten me started on my new tank it will be a cut down 20 long to 16x12x12 and will have a 3" space in the back for an over flow refugium to keep a pump from killing whatever pods may enter the display are as a food source while I am away. Pic of tank and trim cut down still have to remove the old silacon before silaconing back together.

alt="" />Have everything cut and ready to be siliconed together hopefully I can get it all together next weekend.
 
I have two different types of algae in the ac70 that will go into the new setup. I may add some different macro to the display area eventually. I have been seeing several nice tanks lately that have macro in the display area.
 
Latest pics of tank since change over. Most all the corals died in the swap so I'm adding a few mushrooms as I find them trying to keep it simple this time.
