What would you do with a 24"x24"x12" 30 gallon rimless cube, drilled with overflow in side corner... I have the tank and stand, sump, skimmer, ecotech gen 3 radion xr30, ecotech vortech mp10, apex jr and reef octopus return pump.... what would you do- SPS. zoas. LPS or softie tank and why?

A nem only tank with a small Harem (if you can do on in a 30 gal). I would do it because I’ve always wanted a dedicated nem tank.

With unlimited resources i would do a hardcore high end sps tank with a really nice centropyge, like a joculator.
Realistically i would do a zoa tank with rocks, bottom, and everything covered in zoas. Fish would be all perching fish. pygmy hawkish (perchlet), longnose hawk, and starry blenny.

I would put a Green Slimer acro in the middle on a shorter rock structure. This would make an easy to care for, fast growing, brightly colored centerpiece that can be pruned in a way to spread sideways instead of growing up. Put a ring of zoa's on smaller rock islands around the center. Stock it with smaller but brightly colored members of the damsel family. Very active, colorful, and they are all aggressive so should be able to handle each other.
