This is a calming bedroom tank to offset the constant movement and busyness of my 150 gallon basement tank.

I poached rock and a small CUC from the big tank, as well as a few frags, and am using equipment I had laying around.

Currently have a firefish and tiny YWG, along with a fire shrimp and a couple hermits/astraeas.

I'll likely be focusing more on zoa's as I go forward.

I dug out an old 70w halide fixture which had an Ushio 14k bulb of indeterminate age. There's not much pop so back to the stock light for now, but that shimmer brings back some nice memories. I'd be curious to try with a new bulb but seems they are very hard to find these days.

Did some intense DIY modding. Not sure why Fluval didn't add a cord opening on the far end of the tank.

Looking very nice, love the scape. :)
Is the wrasse on the way into or out of the 150?

He'll be going into my 150. Waiting to get an acclimation box first because of my big Melanurus,
