This is after being set up for a month...
I used live sand from my main tank and from my brothers tank. Bought around 10lbs of cultured live rock, took a few pieces from my main tank and got a couple pieces from my bro as well!
Got 10 nassasarius snails, 4 turbo's, 6 mini blue hermits, small
green brittle star, gold CB shrimp, purple pistol, Hi Fin goby, (not w/shrimp ), small maroon clown, and a bicolor blenny. Coral wise, the green polyps, some white ployps, and peach zoa's.
I did the typical mod's to the tank. Cut some slots for
surface skimming, replaced the sump pump with an aquaglobe powerhead (300gph), placed the factory pump in the tank for added circulation, run the carbon and sponges in the first section, LR rubble and LS in the second, and just the return pump in the third.
