Did years of research when it came to saltwater tanks but always held off on diving into it due to how expensive new setups & equipment could be. Thankfully enough I found this gem on marketplace a couple months back and scooped it up so I can begin a budget build project. Its RedSea 30D AIO system which came with stand, external lights, skimmer, wavemakers, etc etc.. Long story short, I ended up paying $300 for everything, three months have passed since setup and the tank is currently stocked with the following:

Fish/Inverts Corals:
*Pearly Jawfish Green Star Polyp
*Pair of Clowns Silver Xenia
*Firefish Cabbage Leather
*Emerald Crab Toadstool Leather
*Blood Cleaner Shrimp Discoma Mushroom
*2x fighting Conchs "Green Grenade" Paly
*3x Trochus snails Kenya Tree
*3x Asteria Snails Blue/Green Duncan
*Sand Sifting Star IMG_0974.jpg
