Things are still recovering from a crazy alkalinity issue (16.9 at one point!) so I hope everything continues to improve in color and health, but this is where its at right now.

Thanks! Its a 12" cube, but I'm not sure what company, I bought it used.
The tank itself was just glass. I added a HOB filter, with a TOMs surface skimmer, a 100gph centrifugal pump, a powerhead, and the light my good friend Richard let me use.

I don't think he is bleached. Many LTA are this color, and he appears to be very healthy. He ate a bunch of rogger's reef food and is reacting well.

The anemone starting moving last night and stung a bunch of stuff including my plate coral. So he went back to the store, and I got 3 hermits, 2 Astrea snails, and a peppermint shrimp to make up for it. Hopefully they will handle some of the HA I'm starting to get.

I will probably try again when I have the tank a bit more dialed in, and probably go with a RBTA this time around
