I started this up a while ago thinking of just rock and a fish but then decided against it and am going LPS/Zoa with it. Nothing too high tech but enough to safeguard certain aspects of it.

10 Gallon Topfin Aquarium
50 watt Topfin Heater
Fluval 50 HOB using sponge filter, Seachem Purigen and Seachem de*Nitrate
Jebao WP-10
AI Prime 16HD running modified David Saxby program
Tunze 3152 ATO
Apex monitoring temp and heater control, fail safe on light set at 82 f. on a separate EB8 from the main Apex on my 40g
CaribSea Fiji Pink dry sand, cleaned from a previous build
5 lbs dry rock and 1 lbs live from current 40g build

Current inhabitants:
1 Yellow Watchman Goby
1 Dwarf Blue Leg Hermit Crab
1 Trochus Snail
1 Blasto, Blastomussa wellsi
1 Green Acan
1 Red Acan
1 Eagle Eye Zoa
1 unknown Zoa

So far I'm 3 months in and all seems good except the unknown Zoas and the Red Acan still haven't adjusted yet. Every one else seems to have adjusted well. The Acans, Hermit and Snail are from my 40g. The Goby, Blasto and Zoas are all new. Starting to get a bit of brown patches on the sand.

Current Levels:

Some recent pics of the new tank. I've since added a Tunze 9001 DC skimmer, XPAqua Sumpless ATO and a Eheim Jager 50watt heater. Couple of new corals and a cuc but also my YWG disappeared :rolleyes:. Dealing with a bit of cyano after over feeding a bit with Reef Roids, yea who hasn't. Have since switched everything over to the full Red Sea Mix Reef Recipe. A 10g nano on the full Red Sea Recipe is not near the cost for my 40g.

That might be a wild caught Zoa.
 
It doesn't look like any that I know.
