One of the Best Mini-Reefs

So recently I broke down my 55 gallon reef, and sold most of the livestock. I kept my rarest corals, and best pieces of liverock for my new 10 gallon super reef. I bought the tank, heater, etc... and set everything up in about 2 hours. For the lighting, I decided to save some money and build myself a light fixture. I went to a local Home Depot and bought myself the "Lights of America 65 watt Fluorex" fixture. The light fixture produces 6,825 Lumens of light, but the downside is that it is only 6500K. Anyways, I set everything up and had the system run for about 1 week with nothing but live rock and sand. Then I added some TLC bacteria additives and moved all of my rare corals to my 10 gallon. Then the next day I bought an Indigo Pseudochromis to add some more color to the tank. So far the tanks has been up and running for about 3 weeks, and everything is doing terrific! The livestock list so far is:
Scroll Coral
Red Blastomussa Merletti
Brown Button Polyps
Frogspawn
Red Eye Favia
Orange Scolymia
Brown Favia
Spotted Purple Mushrooms
Assorted Zooanthid Frag x2
Neon Green Brain
Sun Coral
Indigo Pseudochromis
Emerald Crab
Peppermint Shrimp
Blue-Leg Hermit Crab x6
It's not too bad for someone who is only 17 years old! ;)
