20G RE-Restart-Mixed Reef

[Ocypode sinensis]

Had been a long time after ditching my old 20 gallon long in my old build thread
Currently running an 20 gallon peninsula from Fiji Cube with a XR15G6 pro.

Mixed reef and I mean mixed:
Softies: (Solomen Island long-tentacle leather, Japanese green long polyp toadstool, nephthea, clove polyps, xenia, zoa, blue-ridge coral, gsp, florida ric, caribbean porite)
LPS: (war coral, torch, fungia, plate coral, goniopora, pavona, astreopora, cyphaestrea)
SPS: (Acropora, montipora)
NPS: (red&yellow finger gorgonian, purple sea fan, dendro, Oculina??)
Fish: Pair of clownfish, flame hawk

Attached full tank shot

What kind of rock is that in the bottom?

You mean my sandbed or the rock work?

Correction the mystery NPS I have is Phyllangia americana not Oculina

You mean my sandbed or the rock work?

The sandbed. It looks like some type of river rock.

The sandbed. It looks like some type of river rock.

It's actually TLF's refugite, apparently they vary in grain sizes depending on collection locations.

Thank you. I've never seen anything like that used in a saltwater aquarium before.

Yeah the look is kind of oddball, I just like the look of darker sand bed but found those Hawaii black to be too fine.
