Budget 60 breeder mixed reef - no sump, no skimmer

[Northern Flicker]

Hi all just wanted to share my 60b mixed reef. This tank was supposed to be larger with sump and skimmer but I had a time and budget crunch and decided to just set it up as is.

No skimmer
No sump

For now, I only run pumps for flow, an Eheim surface skimmer, and rely on the 60lbs or rock to biological filter the tank.

All the animals are aquacultured except for 2 micromussa colonies (Aussie) and funny enough the clownfish.

NO

Thanks! About 25lbs came from my previous reef, so those rocks were about 18 months matured.

Here's a pic from really early on back in April, it took about 6 weeks for the rocks to look uniform.
