the tank has been set up for a few years. it was my main saltwater tank but after a while i didnt really take care of it so the sides are completely covered in coraline algea. i will probably endup taking everything and putting it in the empty 29gallon or 40B that i have sitting around and then scraping all of it off. also i need to get rid of the clownfish and 2 damsels i have in there. they are all evil. lost a few fish due to them attacking them. so now i added some more corals to it. Also put on the 72watt led fixture that i picked up from a member on here not to long ago.

here are a few old pics

well here are some pics best i can do with an iphone with the tank under leds. even with the blues turned down a bit they still make everything look purple/blue.
i know i will probably get bashed about the fish i have in there but when i was at reef imports i couldnt resist these awesome fish for 9.99 each. So please in advance dont tell me that the tank is to small because i know its a :nono (2):. I should have the 40breeder set up and running in about a month or so. the fish that i couldnt resist from buying were a carpenters wrasse, dispar anthias, and a copperband butterfly. all of them are doing well swiming and look healthy. Once i find myself an ok job i will be able to set up my 210 and then all of them will go into it :smile (2):

Was looking at the tank earlier and noticed a few pieces of liverock shifted and couldn't find my carpenters wrasse. I found him after I picked up a few pieces of liverock but he got crushed :(
 
That is a strange shaped tank. Do you like it? I feel like the curved edges magnify things which could be cool but mostly makes me dizzy. Whats your experience?
 
an update.
the fish i currently have are
2 snowflake clowns
2 dispar anthias
starry blenny
i gave my copperband to my cousin since he was too big for my tank.

Any one have any LA laker zoas that they can spare a few heads? The ones I had started to get overgrown by bryposis so I removed them from the plug and glued them to a rock and now they are starting to melt away on me :(
