Hello you guys! First time doing a build thread on here. Thought about doing one on r2r but decided to do something new and do it on here! Shoutout to Nickm3 who hooked it up with Deskmate tank, this tank has been running almost 3 months and it has stock light, pump, a vca RFG , a nano biocup with some filter floss, bio balls, and carbon. So far I only have a couple of hermits , a margarita snail , a Kenya tree , a little colony of eagle eye zoas and a small blackstorm clownfish. Not sure I’ll keep the clown in this tank for long due to its size but might look into getting a small yellow watchman goby and pistol shrimp pair in the future. I’ll try my best to take notes of any progress but it is somewhat tough to do so with 2 jobs and a crazy little 2 year old lol also side note if anybody has corals they want to donate , anything will be welcomed!

I hope the lid is secure - that cat looks mighty interested!

She’s actually the reason why I had to make sure I had a lid on the tank lol she pays a little TOO much attention to the clownfish lol

It's weird that I have had two cats and neither one seemed interested in the fish whatsoever. Luckily, no cats jumping in the tank, I suppose haha
