Back into the Hobby!

After a 4 year hiatus I have decided to get back into the hobby, okay...I got the bug again.

Decided to finally put together my 180G system. I went with a clown only tank, originally. I ended up with a a couple of scooter blennies to help with cleaning the sand. I have 23 clowns (ocellaris only) all put in when they were very young (thank you coralreeftb.com for the amazing animals). Have added some BTA's and will add more rock to build up around the sunken ship.

Running a eco shop sump with a 227 Skimz skimmer, have a Neptune Cor 20 return. The Cor 20 is great, provides ample flow for now without any extra PH for motion in the tank. As it grows I'll add some PHs to give some movement.

My goal is to have a nice reef tank with BTA's and some corals eventually.

Thoughts or advice on additional animals/corals is always welcome.

Yes I did research the clowns before going with this setup.

Trying to figure out the picture thing in here, once I do I will post some pics.
Thanks
