I got this in trade for some corals from my 120. So I just had to set up a mini(and I mean MINI) reef.

Dascyllus will certainly be the KING of that tank. Looks nice. Going to keep it as open looking as it is? Looks good like that IMO

Thx all.
The palys are just brownish with green mouths, I have no idea what the name of them is.
I am not planning anymore rock, just whatever the coral frags are attached to. I am going to add some more zoas and some nuclear green palys and loose shrooms.
It is just a cool little tank to play with...lol

I added a koralia nano, and needed to add some more rock to disrupt the flow and to cover it up a bit, so I took some new pics...lol

That looks fantastic. I am too much of a coward to try something that small, but wow it sure looks nice.

I have the coralife 2x18 watt on it...
I took the koralia nano out a while ago.....too much for that little tank. I am running an aquaclear 30 on it for the filter now, and that is all the flow there is. Seems to be just right.
