So, tank number three is an 8 gallon AIO that I picked up used at the LFS. Current equipment includes stock pump, generic ATO switch and fountain pump, a generic heater, and a clip on NIcrew I had laying around. The sand was from an existing aquarium that I had in a bucket with water, and the rock is live from the LFS that they picked up from a hobbyist that exited the hobby. Current is stock with 1 blue damselfish, 1 Kenya tree, 1 disco shroom, 1 ricordea shroom, and 1 zoa. All the corals were either drops from my main tank, or in the case of the zoas struggling in my main tank. The goal of this tank is my wife wants a small tank for the living room, so while I am remodeling I decided to get this little tank going. Enjoy !

Everything is going great with this tank. The current corals are a green and blank monti, another sps I am not sure of, a pink Kenya tree, green spotted and striped disco, a green Kenya tree, green grouch zoa, and a random zoa that has been struggling for a long time, but it starting to color back up. Below is photos of the newest sps.
