Fly's first reef tank Custom Fluval Edge 6 gal

decided to do some rearranging tonight and add some aragonite sand. This guy decided to come out after the water clouded up. I'm thinking its a bristle star

 

Yes it is, it looks to be in very good shape

 

Update time. So it appears my tank has finished its mini cycle. Had a slight ammonia spike then to zero then slight nitrate spike and drop down. Getting some nice coraline growth on some of the pre-established live rock. Added a purple zoa frag, watermelon zoa frag (i think), 2 purple mushrooms, green stripe mushroom, green star polyps, and clove polyps (i think). Also did some rearranging, added some live aragonite sand, a koralia 240 circulation pump, 4 snails, 2 blue leg hermits, 1 pom pom crab, 1 cleaner shrimp, and 1 yellow clown goby. Still waiting on some resistors for the LEDs so I can fix those and make them run at the proper power level. Also planning on picking up some more frags here soon and 1 more small fish maybe. Here are a few pics for now, more later.

 

overdue picture update...

 

Your tank looks great. However the edge series tanks are designed to look spectacular with a more minimalist aquascape. So in thinking if you focused your rockwork mire in the middle if the tank it would look even better than it already does.

 

I thougt about that with the rocks but decided against the pile in the middle look. This way is actually easier since I can get my hand in the tank to move stuff around

 

Looking great

 

i guess that would be a problem with the only opening being in the middle. however take a look at some of these cool minimalist scapes. you can have an awesome scape without sacrificing water volume.
