History
-------
Tank was intended for inverts. Later, used to house white banded pipes...
Current plans: catch up to perfect water parameters, move all corals and live rock into a frag tank... Add 2 pairs of dwarf sea horses. Chronic hatching of live brine. Add more algae to the set up. May be find a 70W hqi 20k color??? Add phosban reactor. Install a live feed with a view of my tank and its parameters.
