Hi all, my 40g cube is running nicely, fish are healthy, couple of snail deaths but perhaps not enough algae for them. Anyway I thought I would share a few pics and see what you all think. I added a small zoa colony as my first coral, going to add some more and planning on toadstool before moving onto hammers and torches along with Duncan and acans. I have a plan in my head where I'm putting things. Will see how it pans out. Time is my friend I am in no rush.

Tank is looking nice! How long have you had it setup?

I bought it 6 weeks ago, before that it was fun for a couple of years. It was "down" literally a few hours in transit. I have got diatoms on the sand ATM plus a bit of bubble algae.
 
Looks good. Keep up the patience, and you will be rewarded.
 
How is this going?
What is your plan? i believe most will say that what you do depends on what are you looking for. Just some softies? lps? sps?
