I have had this tank for a little longer than a year and it has had some hard times. The first issue was a crash caused by ALK instability. I fixed that and then I had an algae outbreak. I am now just starting to restock it as the algae is under control, not gone, but under control.
I plan on making this tank LPS dominant.

Fish livestock:
Yellow Coris Wrasse
Tri-Color Fairy Wrasse
Vlamingi Tang
Lawnmower Blenny
Grade B Picasso Clown

Invert livestock:
Long Spine Sea Urchin
2 Turbo Snails
Roughly 15 crabs (Scarlet reef, left handed sebra stripe, and blue leg)

Here are a few picture to start things off:

Looking good man, that chalice is pretty sweet with the blue rim, and the acan is awesome looking. What are you using for lighting on this tank since you plan on it being Lps dominant?

Thanks! I found a really sweet spot for the mother to be glued down tonight, I hope it likes it there.

I am using the stock lighting which is a 6 bulb t5 fixture.
The combo is:
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Blue Plus
Fiji Purple
ATI Aquablue Special
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Blue Plus

Here are some pictures I took right after cleaning the tank tonight which is why the water is cloudy. Sorry they are not the best pictures, I took them all in less than 5 minutes..
