    It's never too late to start a build thread, so here we go!
    I am about 4 months into the build and everything is going very well.
    Doing half gallon water changes weekly, and topping off very little each day.
    I will be updating as much as I can to keep everyone posted on my progress. Please excuse the small purple lines, my camera isn't exactly the best.
    Thanks everyone for educating me so that I could make this possible!

    The very beginning

    Started out as a dwarf seahorse tank, but eventually changed my mind and realized I didn't have enough time with school and sports.

    The long wait...

    My first coral!

    Changed rock work, added a clown and a couple new coral frags!

    Made the best change possible. Upgraded light to the new reefbreeders par38!

    Lastly I covered the 3 cool whites and got an amazing color!

    Looks so much better in person. Hopefully I will upgrade my camera soon!

    It's 5 gallons. In the future I think it would be cool to add a mini sump to increase the volume but I'm limited on space. Maybe a hang on the back.

    Yea that's what I wanted to do in the the first place but I just love corals too much. I also was scared of hydroids.
