Thank you very much guys!! There's been a few additions to the tank since the original post. Most of the zoa pictures are newer to my tank but some of the ones of fish and hermits have been in the tank for awhile. I am currently in the process of searching for bigger system. I am trying to go 150-180gal since I have the room. I could go slightly bigger than what I have now like a 90 or 125 but I know eventually I will want to go bigger lol. So I want to try to do it right the first time

A few months ago I found a green mandarin at one of my lfs's that eats mysis.

Beautiful tank!

Happy, healthy fish and corals . . .

And that repurposed stand is a straight up delight!
