Newbie mjw here,
I've had a variety of fresh water setup's for years.
Gave it up for about 10 years.
Started back up a few years ago with a 225G reef tank.
My tank occupants and hardware;
Blue Jaw Trigger
Red Sea Sailfin Tang
Purple Tang
Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish
Blue Dot Goby
2 Orange Diamond Jawfish
Maroon Clown
Clark Clown
Mandarin Gobie
Damsels
Snails
Hermits
4 Sand Stars
2 Colt Corals about 12" in diameter
Leather
Finger Leather
2 Xenia
Pollups
Mushrooms
Christmas Tree Worms
260 lbs live rock
640 watts VHO
Wavemaker with 4 pumps
2 - 1000 gph main pumps
40 watt uv sterilizer
Berlin protien skimmer
200 watt chiller
I had 2 big Regal Tangs and 2 big Niger triggers, But had to get rid of them due to too much phosphate in the water from all the food I had to feed them.
Phosphates are getting better now.
