Definately wish I would have read more before putting this tank together and sorry - my camera sucks! This is in a 55gal tall.....

Lighting:
two 250w MH (made by Fish Need It), currently using 10k
I have some lunar lights but need some actinic
a friend built my stand and hood, and I have no room whatsoever to add anything.....I had 20k bulbs previously and when I switched to 10k, everthing started doing much better

Filtration:
Fluval FX5.....works just fine but I wish I would have gone with a sump....next tank I guess
I have 2 Hydor 3s and 1 Hydor 2

Fish/intervertebrates:
1 Blue spotted shrimp goby (runs the tank)
1 purple pseudochromis
1 6 line wrasse
1 green serpent star
1 cleaner shrimp
1 grey reef lobster
1 emerald crab
1 turbo snail
about 50 red legged hermits
about 50 astria snails

Corals:
