Congratulations on the new adventure! I am interested to see how the sexy shrimp work in your new setup.
 
Looks awesome. You made this entire setup?
Thank you yes i did

Here are some updates to it. I remodified my lid for my skimmer which i have to modify the bracket for due to spacing issues. Made a ato reservoir no lid for it yet since i made this in a rush because i was leaving on vacay and need something. Added a Ato and put a small piece of GSP on the back wall

Wow your tank looks great!
 
finally got around to making my roll mat, i still need to make the inner part to hold the mat in place which i should get around to making it today. i also added a tube anemone and a ruby red dragonet. i also picked up a new rock structure which i have in my main tank sump right building up bacteria so that i dont re-cycle this tiny pico.

updates got 2 frost bite clowns, i installed the now seeded rock and made my self a new lid seeing as the clowns are rather tiny and i was afraid they would jump through the holes on the previous lid.
