I am a little slow getting this on here the tank has been up now for two weeks. I have 45lbs of live sand and about 15lbs of rock with 20 more on the way. I started it with some water and rock I had in an established tank. I added two damsels and a gobbie. A couple snails, hermit crabs and a peppermint shrimp to help with the diatoms. I have two power heads and my skimmer running. I'm working on my sump hopefully it will be up in a couple of weeks. 2253822539

My daughters Lego blocks worked nice to make the one inch gap and support my middle baffle

Sump is done just waiting for the silicon to dry. I'm soooo close to being done I'm going to explode with excitement. 22782

Personally I'd pull that Asterina star. More than 5 legs usually indicates a coral predator.

Yep, pull that bad boy and peep your tank at night. They cover individual zoas and then poof. Gone.

I am just haven't gotten to it with work and working on this I haven't made that a priority yet. But those along with the aiptasias will be destroyed.
