Here are some pics of my tank, finally. Took me a while to get decent shots. It's a 12 Gallon Eclipse, 36w 50/50 lighting, about 15 lbs of live rock, and it's been up almost 3 months now. I've been slowly adding inhabitants and coral since the cycle ended at the end of December. The green-eyed button polops didn't want to stay put and attach anywhere so they're strapped to a rock with rubber band right now...
Inhabitants:
2 Ocellaris Clowns
1 Cleaner Shrimp
1 Peppermint Shrimp
1 Red-Legged Hermit Crab
2 Blue-Legged Hermit Crab
1 Nassarius Snail
2 Margarita Snails
2 Astrea Snails
Green Button Polops (which stay closed most of the time for some reason)
Green-Eyed Button Polops
Green Zoanthids
1 Red-Striped Mushroom
Several Purple Spotted Mushrooms (keep splitting new ones)
1 Green Spotted Mushroom
1 Green-Striped Mushoom
1 Frogspawn Head
Small Blue/Green Ricordia
I need more colors, too much green, but that seems to be what my LFS has in small sizes (on a budget). If anyone has any colorful frags they want to get rid of, please let me know.

Let me know thoughts too, thanks!

I really like your aquascape and mushrooms. What corals/fish are you going to buy for this tank?
cheers

Thanks for the comments!
With the 2 clowns I've got enough fish, but I'm trying to figure out what would give me some color diversity. The frogspawn is fairly new, but when I get some more money (single parent, tank is for my 3 year old son, who asbolutely loves it) I'd like to add a hammer and maybe some candy canes. Anyone have any thoughts on what else might give good color, maybe something inexpensive?

I like your Idea of candy canes and hammer coral. Also zoas are nice because you can get about anycolor and they spread rather quickly. (Cheap too) They add a lot of color just like mushrooms. Also GSP's are a good choice for some nice color. Oh and ricordia!
Tank looks good though. Reminds me of mine at about 3 months. Keep up the good work

Thanks. I think too I'd like an Orange Ricordia, if I can find one, and if it's cheap enough. SWF.com asks quite a bit but they also don't have them in stock. Anyone know of any other good reddish coral that would look nice and work under the lighting I have?
