Hello there fish friends!

A couple of moths ago I decided that my 125 gallon FOWLR tank was getting quite boring. I had shut down my reef tank and coverted things into a FOWLR tank. After about five months I really missed the color and movement that a reef tank provides so I converted the 125 into a freshwater tank and made my 33 gallon tank a little reef. This tank started out as brackish, went to saltwater then to fresh and now it's back to salt. All five tanks that I have have either been salt or fresh at one point or another. WOW...when I put it like that the wife is right... I really can't ever make up my mind.

Anyways, this tank has been up for about two and a half months. This is a very basic set up. No skimmer, PC lighting, fuge or any other of the fancy gadgets that are available for reefkeeping.

I do plan on upgrading my light but that's about it. I complete 30% water changes weekly and supplement with tropic marin bio cal and the occasional Kent magnesium.

Right now the only fish in there are a pair of clowns. I may add a pistol/goby combo and that's it for fish. Also have to grab a filefish for some clean up of the aptasia outbreak. What a pain....

Surprisingly the torch does not reach the leather. The powerhead is positioned as such that it blows it away from teh leather. Eventually I'll have to move the torch though.
