55g flat Back Hex


I currently have a TruVu 55g flat back hex with built in overflow. I have a 20g sump with a Euro Reef RS-80 Protien skimmer, and a mag-drive 700gph pump. I've got coralife delux 48" PC lighting with 2 10,000k and 2 actinic lighst.

There is 70# of Fiji and 10# of Tonga Branch live rock and a very fine cc substrate.

My current inhabitants are:
a ginormous colt coral that desperatley needs to be fragged, I just haven't gotten up the courage to do it!
a toadstool that is also growing like a weed
a green BTA
1 Sixline Wrasse
Multiple hermits
Multiple astrea snails
1 emerald crab named "Emeril" (I like to cook)
1 peppermint shrimp (named Lost because I never see it.)

That's about it for now.
