Tank has been up and running for almost three years now, figured it would be time to post a thread about it.

5.5 Aqueon tank, filtration: Aquaclear 150 converted into a refugium (swapped the impeller with a smaller one to decrease the flow rate) using an Aquaclear sponge (inverted) chemi-pure and sponge/carbon pad. Other side has a mix of cheato and someother plants, snails are in and out of the fuge, depending on algae growth. Little found pump for flow and Finnex 16" marine led.

Livestock: watchman goby, two anemone crabs, pistol shrimp, three nassarius snails, two astrea snails, two Mexican turbo snails. Picked up five blue legs and five red leg hermits today.

Corals: trumpet coral (which I've had for almost three years, it's been fragged a few times) two separate ducan corals (one I've had for almost three other two years, fragged once) random zoas/polyps, gsp rock, clove polyps, ricordia, pagoda frag, anthelia (cut back a few times) bubble coral, one suncoral frag and one colony, two headed dendrophyllia (from Rookie) small leather I picked up last month and some small lps frag, I don't know what it is.

My snails at work. Sometimes I'll keep the snails in the fuge and won't clean the glass for a few weeks. I like to see the pods running in the algae on the glass.
