Fish : 1Tomato Clown, 3 blue yellow tail damsels, 1 bicolor dottyback

Corals : small brown mushrooms, med fuzzy brown/green mushrooms, something has started on the LR but it's a small hard coral of some type about the size of a little fingernail.

Invertebrates : Turbo snails, Astrea snails, 1 abalone, Scarlet Reef hermits, little left handed crabs, x2 Skunk Cleaner shrimp, x2 Emerald crabs, x1 Brittle star (very large 16+ inch leg span, 1 small brown anemone, 1 Florida pink tip anemone, Button Polyps, 1 anemone crab, some small critters in the dolomite from the LR, 1 med olive snail, cerith snails

Maintenance Program : Water changes, Reef Solution, Kalk, well water.

Additional Information (include estimated total system cost if known):I intended this system to be a start for a larger system which has not been built yet. At least that was where some of the substrate, LR and mushrooms were headed. Just hasn't happen yet. A lot of filtering, some converted from the original freshwater system. A fair amount of water movement with all the filtering, but almost a necessity in this size.

I thought I should add a photo of the 29 gallon tank. Not a bad photo, but will work on it. 8)

I have a new photo. In this one I have added a real nice piece of LR for a future tank and my Florida Pink Tip anemome is inflated. I also noticed that I need to set the white level on my camera as that is the reason (I think) that my blue/yellow tailed damsels look purple. I have also added an additional 20w atintic NO bulb for some increased color. So the lighting now is 2 50/50 65w PC and 1 20w NO atintic.
