Has gorgs and macros. My goal is to imitate biorb poster pictures on amazon but with real corals and live plants. It has yellow cucumbers that split into two :0 fed it weekly with live phytos, no fish yet though I am planning to add black molly. I am trying to avoid scratching the tank so no snails or sea urchin. It used to have encrusting purple sponge that thrive and grow but it died cuz I accidentally exposed it to air. It has stock filtration but I changed the airpump to 160g/h so it got alot of water movement and I changed the light to kessil a80. To further avoid scratching the tank I am using plastic bioballs as a substitute for ceramic media. The balls can be opened up and has some space inside to put your ceramic media which I did so it wont float.
Problems I encountered are microbubbles stuck on the viewing side of the tank. Extremely hard to clean and I have to rescape it again after I finished cleaning, it has built in protein skimmer which skims phytos wether I like it or not. The bowl shape of the aquarium distorts the view. Using a more powerful airpump will fill the tank with microbubbles basically turning it into slushy. The tank gets scratched very easy even the salt creep scratches it.
