Tank: 32G biocube LED

Equipment: Just about everything stock. I added an Intank filter media rack and Refugium rack with tunze fuge light (running Chaeto), caribsea life rock about 20lbs, and caribsea live sand. Cora life protein skimmer.

Livestock:
2 fancy ocellaris clowns (Spot and Flip)
1 royal dottyback (Berry)
1 watchman goby and candycane pistol shrimp (Toby and Pete)
1 diamond goby (Sandy)
1 red linckia starfish
3 margarita snails
2 red legged hermits

Coral (I love torches!!!):

5 torches ( Holy grail, juicy fruit, indo gold, cotton candy, and unnamed) -yes I know have too many….
2 Acans unknown variety
3 zoas (charmander, magician, rainbow incinerator)

I have referenced R2R for most of my questions and am looking forward to learning more!
