    My 180

    Hey guys, just wanted to share my fish tank.
    My love for fishkeeping is very different than my reptiles, I find the two in combination are very balancing, and very time consuming!

    System specs:
    180 gallon, by Great Lakes Aquariums
    55 gallon sump
    2x 250 watt Metal halides. 15,000 Kelvin XM bulbs.
    Coralife super skimmer 220 needle wheel.
    Homemade stand and canopy
    Mag 9.5 return pump
    2x Hydor Koralia 4

    The tank is 4 years old, I set it up when I was in highschool, and I hope to see my fish grow old here! They are all doing well and I am having some success, I tried to pick hardy fish that could do well even when I cant do a water change for 6 months.
    I don't have any corals at the moment, I am a fulltime student and do not have the time or money, but the tank was set up so that I can go reef eventually. With the addition of some new equipment, I hope to see this tank full to the brim with leather and mushroom corals someday down the road.

    Fish:
    Gold stripe maroon clown
    Zebra moray eel
    Blue hippo tang
    Yellow pseudochromis

    I had a few others, Including the amazing queen angelfish in the following pic, but she grew way too agressive for my other fish, and killed a few before I could find a new home for her. When I have more time I will be looking to add a new interesting species to my mix, maybe a docile angelfish, trigger, or lion.






    Thanks for looking, please feel free to post if you like marine!
