Same here but it was actually one with a few corals, a few fish & one of the nicest Volitan Lions I had ever seen.

I started with 2 Black Saddleback Clowns... It was too small of a tank (29G) and they got to aggressive for all the other occupants that were added later and had to be removed and brought into a LFS for credit

a mantis shrimp, sunk in on the lr. turned out to be the most interesting and entertaining addition until an unfortunate return pump accident. still miss him.

Plastic Plants from an old fresh water set up. They still look great!

I actuall have a really nice piece of Colt coral that was one of my first additions into my 65gal. Got it from The Reef Shoppee & it was only about 2" tall, now it is almost 9" tall & really fuzzy looking.

Kenya Tree on the other hand is a real plague except maybe in a FOWLR. I have a bunch of it & it will not make it into the new tank for sure.
