When I first started this tank up I didn’t know a lot about the saltwater hobby I just knew the very basics, so I just had a regular led light over the tank and expected to grow corals and a whole lot of other stuff. If only I knew what I know now about the reef keeping hobby this tank would be so different, I would have a sump, refugium, reactors,ets here are some pictures that I have from when I first set it up

not bad for 5 gallons.keep up on those water changes with a small tank and no sump.i've seen some nice 5 gallon systems that don't cost a fortune to maintain.
 
aquascape looks ok,
How is that galaxea doing?
Start with some entry level corals, stuff like zoas and candy canes. I run two pico reefs (3G) and I love them. Godspeed.
