corals
coral wise the tank is mainly sps there is a couple of lps in there and a clam

inverts

cleaner shrimp, true peppermint shrimp, turbo snails, mexican turbo snails, dove snails, tuxedo urchin, sand sifting star fish, and probably a few other hitch hikers

the tank was set up 6th October 2017 so just over 12months old.

anyways that's enough talking here's some pictures from the start to now. the rockwork has changed a few times recently as I wasn't happy with it.
