A build thread, because while the tank is still young, I'm seriously considering redoing the aquascape, as well as setting up a 10/20g sump. This tank just turned 7 months old.

Current Coral:
2 zoanthid frags (Not sure what fancy name they have, they were cheap grab bag zoas)
Purple Frilly Gorg
Ultra Florida Ricordea located in a shot glass, its on time out for sneaking off the frag one night.
A duncan, which has sprouted what appears to be 6 new heads in a matter of 3 weeks, all of which have small polyps popping out now
A frag of GSP that looks like its headed out, unfortunately.

Fish/Inverts:
Black and White Oce
Midnight Lightning Oce
Pink Bar Goby/Pistol Pair
4 Astrea Turbos
6 Nassarius Vibex
2 Mexican Nassarius
2 Red Leg Hermits
1 Blue Leg Hermits
Cleaner Shrimp
Pretty sure a bristle worm exists in the tank
At LEAST 2 micro brittle stars that arrived with the GSP frag months ago that like to wave to us from the rocks every once in awhile.

I had a huge algae problem in the first 3 months of the tank, hence the bigger CUC, though still much much smaller than was suggested in the beginning. No casualties yet!

Currently, everything except the Gorgonian is mounted on a frag, and that will make it relatively simple to rescape. I think. The sand bed will likely stay the same, if I decide to rescape it.

Side note: Biocubes are awesome. I regret not going bigger though.
