1 12" LTA
1 Lawnmower Blenny
40 assorted snails/crabs
2x fire shrimp
more to come soon tho not many fish.

well here it goes....

This is what i started with,



now here it is...





Anyway please feel free to point out things i can change to make it better. As i said this is my first reef so i am unsure of what i am doing ( I have not seen any other reef's in person to see if i am doing it right or not).

Last saltwater tank i did was 15+ years ago with an undergravel filter and a shop light. how the times have changed.
Hi Zerandise

Yeah i also had a marine setup 16 years ago and things have changed, as in Equipment and lights.

Your tank is nice, i like it alot..
