I guess I should probably give a little info on the tank huh 
It has been running for about 9 months now.
tank: 20g aga hex
Filtration: consists of 35lbs fiji LR and 50lbs southdown sand.
Circulation: is from a hagen 402 PH and a penguin mini powerfilter carbon only 2 days on 5 days off
Supplements:.3ml kent iodine .3ml kent trace elements every 2 weeks and 1/2 teaspoon kent reactor every week
Water changes: 20% once a month using instant ocean salt mix
Topoff: 1/2g every 4 days regular tapwater with 3 drops dechlorinator
Lighting:consists of 2 65watt 6500K LOA lights and 2 9watt PC actinics retrofitted into a diy hanging canopy lights are 8 inches above the water.
Also with the lights they are scheduled to be changed every 6 months because after that the LOA bulbs become to yellow. Not much of an expense because replacement bulbs are only 11 dollars here.
Inhabitants mainly as you see them pictured.
wellsophyllia (sp?)
trachaphyllia(sp?)
scolymia
green cynirina(sp?)
purple sea whip
bubble coral which started in my main tank 2 years ago as a quarter size piece and is now about 7 inches across when fully expanded.
candy cane coral started with 3 polyps now has about 25 and has been fragged twice 8 polyps once due to necrosis and 10 polyps the second time for a trade.
encrusting briarium
asst ricordia and shrooms
1 coral banded shrimp
1 emerald crab
1 sally light foot crab
1 skunk cleaner shrimp
1 orange linkia starfish another transplant from my 150g
25 astrea snails
15 blueleg hermits and 5 scarlet hermits
2 3rd generation tank raised miss barred percula clowns
and one rock with green hair algae which i keep but prune regularly for nutrient export.
Well i think that is about it if anyone has any questions comments or suggestions please fire away i'll answer what I can I would post new pics but I'm in the process of shopping for a new camera after the new baby was born so i'll post more when possible again thanks for the kind words.
