So i recently had the opportunity to get back into the hobby after spending 4 years away. I bought an already running tank from someone who had to move out of state on short notice so it might not totally fit the term "build". The tank had some existing coral and bit of livestock. There was one anthia, cleaner shrimp, clown, porcelain anemone crab, rbta and various snails and hermits. Unfortunately during the move the anthias and shrimp didnt make it. I was pretty bummed because i have been successful at moving tanks in the past and i had high hopes for this journey. On the coral side there has only been one* loss (cyphastrea may be coming back regaining color!). The list of coral i inherited is frogspawn colony, huge leather, red and teal st thomas mushroom, cobalt mushrooms, and of course some GSP.
this is right after i had it more or less running in my house day one. Uh i like to think diamond in the rough. Ill dig up more pictures and post the early stages progression tomorrow.
