Inverts

peppermint shrimp
sebae anemone
green bta
fighting conch
2 cucumbers
2 blue tuxedo urchins
300+ astreas
150+ microhermits
5 mexican turbos

All but 3-4 of the corals are grown from frags or are frags. Living in the Raleigh area with so many reefers is incredible. The army of astreas and hermits are only passing through.. once they rape and pillage my hair algae 2/3 of them will find new homes.

Upgrade Plans:
1) Will swap the GRI520 with a GRI518 I have laying around and put the 520 on a closed loop. That will bring it up to about 4800 GPH flow in the tank with about 1200 flowing through the sump.
2) Build a hood that actually fits (still using the hood from my old 90G) and rewire the 2x55W to a 1x96W, possibly add in 2x96W on a Workhorse7
3) Redo the sump/plumbing for easier access to skimmer and sump cleaning. Fit a 10-12g container under the stand for a floatswitch aqualifter topoff. (trying to get everything out of sight)

I'll get some pics soon...

The critters are staring to take effect... they seem to be able to keep the algae from spreading. I hope that if I pluck out the majority of what is left, they can take care of it as well.
