Our small piece of the ocean

[JVI90gREEF]

This is our first shot at a reef...hopefully it turns out as well as many of the beautiful reef tanks we've seen on this forum. I will post more pics of individual inhabitants later on this afternoon. Thanks in advance for stopping by to take a look. Have a blessed day!

Very nice start! Have patience, test your water, good housekeeping habits and sit back and watch in amazement!

Give it time and you will have a very nice little piece of the ocean once it fills in. Happy reefing!

Nice start. Looking forward to some more pics of the individual inhabitants. How about some details about the system. Tank size, equipment, ect.?

Yeah, we like for them to be in plain sight as much as possible! We're thinking about adding another fish or two. Thinking about a potters or flame angel and a medium blue hippo tang.

Thank you! Our intentions are to get our fish and corals at smaller sizes and watch everything flourish and grow. This is such a rewarding and addicting hobby. I won't dare mention the "E" word! Lol

This guys seems to be a mix of kaleidoscope/radioactive eagle eyes

He's the Zoa in the middle of the pack. He's a highlighter yellow/orange, but definitely more on the highlighter yellow side! Would love some help ID'ing him.
