    About a year ago my brother (Tbstr3) started a salt water aquarium and I almost immediately jumped right on board and wanted to do my own.

    I bought a 26 gallon bow front and stand and started right up. I have posted some pictures, I admit my camera is not the best, it's from my iPhone. It was just moved to my new apartment today (about an hour and a half before the pictures were taken), so it might be a little blurry and some of the corals might still have yet to open.

    Inside the tank;

    Live rock/sand.
    Various corals. (including a clam/sebaes)
    Fish (Clownfish x2, Firefish Goby, Green Manderine Goby, Green Cleaner Wrasse)
    Inverts (Sand sifting starfish, cleaner shrimp, uncountable amount of snails/hermit crabs, emerald crab.)

    Take a look and let me know what you think. And ideas or comments are appreciated, I am new to the hobby so constructive criticism is welcome.

    - Joey.

    Hi jtoby, I don't know, maybe a little more rock? Seems things look nice now so you may not want to start another cycle. Looks real nice, I like the look.

    Looking good, I would recommend moving the clam to the rocks someplace. It looks to be either a crocea or maxima, I think crocea though. Either way, they are both rock boring clams and may be happier in the rock work.
