Little update on my salt tank. (work in progress)

[Camshaft Ramrod]

As most of you know, I sold my 300, 240, and 210, along with all of my fishes not too
long ago. The only thing I kept was a 30 gallon salt and a 150 gallon pond.


Here's is the DIY thread for when I made the sump. It's still not hooked up.
I have been too busy to build an overflow box. Summer school's hectic.

Camshafts' picture journal Building a sump from scratch


And here is the DIY thread on my lighting for the tank.

Camshaft make big light into little light....




I'm just starting to fill the tank with coral and what not. Filled it full of rock.
Has a good amount of crevices and shelves.
Have two percula clowns (one oddball. none of the stripes connect on one side.)
some pom poms
lightfoot
HUGE banded shrimp that hides in the middle, so I never get a pic of it.
bunch of crabs, snails, olives,
Cucumber
etc.....blah blah

Only have about 20% of the corals I'm looking for in it right now. It's a work in progress. I'd like to know if there's anything you see I'm doing wrong/right, anything you suggest I try, tips, comments. Go easy on me, I'm not a salt person...

You have a past experience with them? Can you explain them a bit?
It's my first one..

I think he's eating the Xenia I just got.. I tied a piece of turkey to fishing wire and almost fished him out tonight. I'm gunnu try for another go tomorrow.

I'll eventually put some pix up of the new additions. It's hard to take a macro shot of moving coral..
