Welcome and great start so far. That clown needs a few friends. He looks like he's in lock down.

Welcome to R2R. I have an IM 30L, they are fantastic display tanks.

IM is a good brand I love there lagoon style tanks. But, I have a Waterbox Cube. I would recommend some zoas

Really depends on what you are after, SPS, LPS, nem for sure...I had a 20 IM really liked it, just not quite big enough...

Mushrooms, zoas and leathers are pretty forgiving in terms of water parameters which will be important since your tank is relatively new. Euphyllias like torches and frogspawn will provide movement, just be sure to give them room. Most reefers would advise that you not consider anemones until your tank is mature, not just cycled, and this often takes 12 months or so.

Good luck, exciting to have so many varieties to choose from. Just do your research on this forum and other trusted sites before you talk with your LFS and you'll make the right choices for you.

Thank you all for your input! Took a trip to the local store and finally added some color to the tank:
Hammer
Mushroom
Rose bubble Anemone

Using blue lights only and the CoralsCoral lens

You’re tank is beautiful ! I love the minimalistic rock look Gives the fish so much space to swim

Might want to look at youtube "Bob Fenner 2017 anemone" for more information about husbandry.

I would add quality cured live rock. Tampa Bay Saltwater is so close to your shipping and transit times would be awesome.

what light are you running? New to the hobby and got a nuvo 40 and it came with 2 AI Prime HDs. It was supposed to be for my daughters room to graduate her from fresh to salt. Soooo...I ended up picking up a use Nuvo 20 for her room and I'm trying to figure out a light for it. looking used...another AI Prime HD? Hydra 26? Kessil? Just not sure but it appears that one light will be sufficient.

The nuvo 20 seems like the perfect size to have in a bedroom, mines is in my room as well! I’m running 1 AI prime on it I think its more than enough especially if you’re on a budget.
