    Well i am up and running for about 5 weeks now. I have a clown fish that was given to me by a friend from an established tank that he was breaking down. I have about 60 lbs of LR so far in the tank and about 10 in the fuge. I ordered a CUC from reefcleaners per their recommendation. I have been taking alot of suggestions from this forum and I am grateful for all of them. The LFS isn't much help IMG_1187.jpg

    I would. A single Koralia is not much.

    I like the look of it so far. You made some nice tunnels for the fishies.
    Great looking clown. Those are one of my favorites.

    IMO

    You do want at least 1 more Korallia or similar in there
    and it would be best if it was angled upwards to get that water surface rippling
