    Been running for about 4.5 months now.
    Everything is HOB; Skimmer, Filter.

    I love it, and think it's pretty decent for a noob

    I'm running out of room for corals :(
    I originally wanted to go minimalistic for rock work, just 2 mound areas and a bridge.

    But now I kind of wish I would have built it up a little higher, at least for more coral spots.

    It never fails you like more corals than you have rock to put them on, not matter how much rock you get.

    I've done freshwater in the past (Still have a 55G Cichlid Tank), but this is my first SW.

    Thanks.
    I just go on message boards and look at other people's stuff I love and try to emulate.

    Actually, this was a flowerpot that I gave up on today.
    Reason why I got a new coral.
    I freshwater dipped the flowerpot b/c it had flatworms and 2 other worms inside it.
    Got it all off, but it hasn't expanded at all in about 7-10 days.
    I put it in the very back just in case, but i think it's dead.

    Are you talking about the Yellow one? The guy I bought them from said they were just "Yellow Polyps"
