I had started this tank awhile ago but recently took it down since I was upgrading. I wanted this tank to be simple yet enjoyable at the same time. I stocked the tank with only inverts as imo housing a fish in such a small tank is cruel and makes your life harder since keeping water quality stable and high in such a small amount of water with a fish is difficult. As far as corals go I took a visit to a lfs here in town and purchased a small Mushroom along with two small Button Polyps attached to a small piece of live rock. The corals did great in my tank and the Polyps actually multiplied as I started with two and ended up with 5-6. I enjoyed the tank very much and you get to observe all the little things that you miss out in a larger tank. I will post the tanks specifications and post some pictures of the tank.
