90 Gallon Sumpless Reef n00b

[Zeus82]

Hello everyone, my name is Jesse and am a member from Wisconsin.

I have been running a 90 gallon sumpless system for 6 months now and love it. Started off as a FOWLR but started adding corals here and there and now have a bunch of different kinds in there mainly LPS and Zoas.

Equipment consists of: Fluval 405 canister (sponges only & surface skimmer), Eshopps psk-100H (HOB)skimmer, 100lbs of LR, (2) MP40w's & (2) Ai Sol Blues.

Livestock: Misbar & True Percula Clownfish, Red Head Solaris Wrasse, Firefish, Blue Hippo Tang, Sailfin Tang, Coral Beauty, Watchman Goby, Tailspot Blenny & Rainfordi Goby.


Sorry for the crappy cell phone pix but this is my tank as of today.

Is that a Green Willow Toadstool you have there?

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.

I knew this hobby was going to be addicting but never realized how bad it was going to be...LOL.

As far as the toadstool, are you talking about the huge one in the middle? If you are, I'm going to be honest and say that I really don't know. I bought it from a local reefer for $20 and figured it would look nice as a center piece.

Thanx again, everyone.

I threw in 30#'s of dry rock and man did that sh** raise nitrate levels like crazy causing a cyano breakout. Little by little it's diminishing but I hate coming home from work and seeing that red crap everywhere.
