[Reef_surfer]

hey fellow CR's its time for a new build. its a 17g rimless and shallow tank with a 20g sump (thanks to Lorenz0)

the measurements are 36"long x 12"wide x 9" high, with a overflow and 20g sump. the sump for now just has LR in it. i also got a tek 4x59W T5 fixture
and just bought 2 new bulbs today one 22,000k blue, and a fiji purple.
here are a couple FTS




in the DT i have about 35 lbs of LR with sugar sand.
the live stocki have came from my 33g. it includes a occ Clown(Curious George), clarki's clown(Rampage Jackson), yellow watchman Goby w pistol shrimp(Bert & Ernie) and a yellow tail damsel. My CUC is a sea hare(Pumba) and a handfull of snails about ten-15 or so.

as for my Corals i am wanting this tank to be mostly a Zoa dominate tank with a few Lps. i have started with a few frags. muilti colored richordia Maze brain, Frogspawn, GSP,Candycane, Blue eyed favia, and a pink open brain
zoas include Pink panther, blood red, and not sure of the last one maybe someone can id its a really nice orange with grey skirt


here is a couple of the most current FTS




here is the left side of the tank followed by the right side



one thing that i have come to like is how quite my new tank is compared to the old 33g that had HOB everything from skimmer to filter media. really made a person want to go to the bathroom alot. i will give more updates tomorrow as i have a new addition to the tank. and i might try add some doors to the stand aswell as add maybe a skimmer
