My husband wanted to be able to have some say in what goes in or doesn't go into a tank of his very own, so we got a cheap 12 gal eclipse(all scratched up) off craigslist for him. And here is the product. I hope you enjoy it.
Stock:
1 tank raised percula clown
frogspawn
galaxia coral
hairy mushroom
assorted ricordia
candy cane frag
neon green trumpet frag
gorg frag
green brain
green star polyps
yellow sun polyps
assorted zoas

Thanks! I just use the dual actinic bulb made for the eclipse 12(which is a pain to get), so I'm keeping the coral load fairly low maintenance.For CUC I have about 10-15 assorted reef safe hermit crabs because my husband finds snails boring, lol. I have to algae scrape it constantly as a consequence. I'm hoping that if we ever get a new place we can upgrade to a 20H without all the scratches or better yet a Biocube or somethinge else designed for reef setups. I know that this one is pushing it...

Looks good so far,
I recommend a 14g Biocube, Or 2 8g Boicubes w/ tongan branch LR if you can find it.
I would do snails either way, They tend to be not so noticeable and do alot of good.

I love those fish. I have one and they are great, friendly fish. Every time i walk into the room he just sits at the front of the tank and stares at me.

I just rearranged everything and the yellow watchman is so funny. As soon as my hand was out of the tank he was like a cat checking out something new, swimming up and almost seeming to sniff everything like he knew it had changed. He must approve because he has been spending more time out front where I can see him.
