Hi all. I started this tank back in December knowing literally nothing about reefing. I read and researched all I could on R2R and wanted to share what I have.

Please share your opinions and any suggestions on what to change. I wanted this tank to look stuffed with Corals, but I am still learning what can go where so it's a struggle.

Looks great so far. My only concern would be those anemone's.

You said it's a 5g and you have what looks to be 2 long tenticle anemone's which 1 of those gets bigger than your entire tank! ;p

Good luck though, looking good so far

Thanks! Yes, I know. It has grown about 10% in the past 2-3 months. I have another tank at home that will house the corals that outgrow this tank. This is at work. I still have to organize it, but my params are good and the fish and corals are all happy except for one.
