Started working at a great LFS and couldn't resist finally trying out a salty tank after being a planted geek for a few years now. Started with a 20 long then upgraded about a month ago to this 33 long with a 20 long sump. New tank has a couple of scratches, but for 10$ couldnt pass it up. Has been a blast so far, hope you enjoy.

Specs are:

33 long tank drilled with 2 overflows and 1 return Y'd out.
20 long sump with fuge for algae
Eshopps protein skimmer
48" quad T5ho with led moonlights

Clean up crew:

Cleaner shrimp
7-8 hermits
1 turbo snail
5ish nas snails

Critters:

1 Blue spot watchmen goby with Candy cane pistol
1 Tribal blenny
1 Molly Miller blenny
1 Six line wrasse
1 Dusky jawfish
1 Elongatus dotty
1 Eibli angel

Mostly softies with a few lps and sps.

Nice tank. Looks bigger than a 33 gallon. Nice variety of corals! Congrats on the start of a healthy reef!

The only thing I would note is to keep an eye on the dusky. They can get kind of mean and once they get some size on them, they can swallow small blennies and gobies.
