New to forums, here's my tank

[Collin S]

Hello,
I just joined the forums as of 30 minutes ago.
I wanted to say this is a great forum and the last two months, this is where I have gotten all of my info from. I had no difficulties finding any info because of all the "stickies" and links that are posted for people that can't use the search bar.
I took the splurge 3 weeks ago and bought a tank off Facebook. Someone local was moving to Florida and sold the whole setup for a crazy low price so I couldn't pass it up. The tank was setup for a year or so with a good supply of pods and lots of hair algae that I scrubbed out.
When I blacked the tank out for 3 days to kill the rest of the hair algae

Current 57g cubed

I have 3 whole pieces of rock completely covered in star polyps
1 bubble tip
1 small acan
a couple misc frags I can't identify, they're some type of zoa
And a pair of snowflake clowns
Sump

(Protein skimmer was added after photo)

Welcome to the forum.
Looks like you got a good deal. I would start by modifying the scape a bit to something that gives a nicer shape and enough places to place corals.

Any good examples to follow that you would want to share?

suggest you check scape threads which I find provide a lot of ideas, also check out build threads in Members tanks subforum and try to check tanks threads similar to your tank size this always provides a load of ideas and also info on other topics like lighting, flow and also fish and corals choices. I recently rescaped my 26 G cube its smaller than your tank but provides some good info on scaping considerations and technique.

Again much better threads on the forum to check.
feel free to ask questions and I'm sure many members here on the forum will chime in and provide a load of info.

I'm actually going to do a rescape here shortly in the next couple days.
I have a couple ideas in mind, but right now it looks like I just threw the rock in there whichever way it fit.
