Hi! How do you do? Allow me to introduce myself: Reefer for 3.5 yrs, tried FW before this few times. Specialized in keeping non-photosynthetic corals and fine filter feeders, but now have to make this hobby more affordable, simplify setups and reduce maintenance drastically - age related health problems. Have a lot of unanswered questions, hope to find the board with the answers. Found this board through the link to Carl's in depth articles, and have high hopes to find information I'm looking for. Current established tanks: 125g long filefishes tank, 15g shallow high light - Christmas tree worms, nps, sps, lps and clams tank, 12g Nano-Cube with large tube anemone, 6g shallow dark - what was left from sun corals collection, 6g Nano-Cube with painted frogfish, 5g sea apples tank, 2g FW - leftover of ghost shrimps and java moss. All, except Nano-Cubes and shrimp, are with sumps, most are with skimmers. Would like to graduate to pico tanks. You see one of my problems: keeping organisms that I like - not keeping The Tank. More important problem is making inexpensive efficient setups, but for all these years I didn't find enough specific information for making it work well. Dare to take the challenge? P.S. Unintelligible user name in not my fault: registration process didn't allow the name Different Best regards, Me.

Thank you!
The common ones, and after downsizing from LPS left only Blastomussa merletti, maze brain, an, not sure if it is Gardineroseris or Agaricia agaricite.
Sps: seriatopora, pocillopora, montyporas, porites, pavona, and what possibly are porites, Madracis decactis and Psammocora superficialis - on Christmas tree rocks.
NPS: scleronephthya, chili corals, Diodogirgia nodulifera (both morphs), Swiftia kofoidi, either paraplexaura or echinogorgia, sun corals: Tubastreas: faulkneri, coccinea, aurea, diaphana, micrantha; Dendrophyllias yellow and salmon-colored (fistula or gracilis?); Cladopsammia gracilis, ans solitary small cup corals (Caryophyllia?).
Softies: purple lemnalia, white pom-pom xenia, gsp, few hairy mushrooms, few red mushrooms, Kenya tree, toadstool, cabbage leather, few button polyps.
Had more, have to downsize and this is what was left.
