Hey y'all! I've been out of the hobby mostly (I've always kept a 40 running with easy corals for my 13 year old clownfish to live in) for about 3 years since moving. We bought a house last August, and I ended up buying a little 10g Fusion with a Kessil A80 in November to see if I'd get back into the hobby. Well I'm back to being obsessed and I've nearly filled this tank. I'm using this thread as a way to organize my photos and to document growth. There are currently no fish, with plans for either a possum wrasse or a goby/shrimp pair, and sexy shrimp and porcelain crabs. I have always loved LPS and ricordea, so those are dominant in this tank. IMG_5134.jpg

Great pics! Where do you source your ricordea? Do you glue them down or let them attach?

Thanks! I got the big record from GotCorals.com. I picked them up at the Florida Frag Swap a few weeks ago in Tampa, but plan on ordering more through their website. They are huge and healthy and I highly recommend them. They came on rubble, so they are glued to a rock. I had ordered others through SaltCritters.com but the quality was nowhere close.
 
Oh I meant on their website. Your tank does look great though! The website shows a $120 ricordea on the first page. It is challenging to navigate on the phone. No sub-menus

Those acans look incredible. They're in my top five all time favorite corals. Where did you get those from?

How do you like the a80 on that tank? I was thinking of that combo for a coral/invert nano QT tank.

I really like it. I bought this tank on a whim and this was the light they had in the store for these tanks. It's the perfect amount of light for this tank (if a bit much for the corals at the top).
 
Picked up this goniopora today. Pretty excited about it! Also picked up a sweet orange and yellow flower anemone, but a crab conveniently crawled over it during photo time. And a blasto that needs a little TLC.

Found this nasty little coral muncher on my zoas today. It's the first time I've noticed them being irritated, so hopefully it was just this one.

And a few others shots of the acans that are close to the glass. I scraped the algae near the sand, so I can finally get good photos of these.
