I just got the tank from a family member, who upgraded, all the fish,LR and corals are from my 55G I've had for 4 years now. Gotta great deal on it so i couldn't pass it up, especially since i don't have a lot of room in my apt.

What a nice gift for you, it looks well established. That's a pretty sweet set up so far, the stock lighting is doing wonders for you!

The pairing of watchman goby and pistol shrimp is amazing to watch.. hope it works out for you. : )

In the first pix the rock second from the right looks like a mad monkey screaming (teeth and all) with its mouth wide open. Lol. Hey can I suggest you remove the damsels? They are territorial fish and the humbugs (black and white striped) will kill the blue one damsel first then each other leaving only one. From here it may kill you clown. But this rock wall looks good in the tank. Good job. O also if you do not have a magnet yet look into the two little fishie ones they will fit in between the rocks and the glass.
