Kids' 16 gallon rimless softie/macro

[reef_grrrl]

Hey guys! I started a 16 gallon rimless tank for my two daughters, 6 and 7 years old. It's been up for about three months now. I've spend practically nothing on this tank, I had everything lying around except the pseudochromis and the macroalgae, and I pulled the live rock for free from my boss's giant vat of rock.

Equipment-

16 gallon rimless bent glass aquarium
Random HOB filter with filter floss only
Eheim heater
Marineland double bright LED- general daylight and moonlight, turned on when/if the kids remember and moonlights on at night
Wavepoint 16w blue and white LED run 4 hrs in the afternoon

Livestock-
Calupera
Red Gracilara
Green Grape

Kenya Tree

Two hermit crabs- Mario and Luigi
Two Astrea snails

Diadem Dottyback - Banana Prism
Cheekspot Picasso clown- Cacti

We will be adding a serpent star and another Picasso or some other perc variety. The Dottyback has been well behaved but I have other tanks to move it to when/if it starts to act up.

I'll be getting some quick growing zoas and cheapo mushrooms from a local reefer, and moving some gsp from my main tank this weekend.

I like that rock work.

Thanks! The main arch is just two rocks that happen to fit together perfectly!

I love to see macro algae in the display tank. I would put some in mine but the fish would eat it. Instead I will give the fish Red Gracilaria for a treat.
