Its not much, but alot of time, money and backpain has gone into this little guy.

Lighting is Finnex T5 - 24" - 4 x 24w T5HO
Prizm skimmer.
Not sure how much live sand and rock has gone into it.

I've been using scripps water since the very begining.

Fish: 1 False perc, 2 clown goby's yellow and black, a cleaner shrimp and assorted clean up crew.

i think its great... awesome start... :)

Very nice little tank. Looks much better with the background painted black. :)

What kind of HOB filter is that, just a filter, or is it a filter/skimmer? Since you're using less than average filtration, you'll probably need to do more water changes... Stay on top of it and you'll keep an awesome looking tank.

Have you noticed a lot of algae growth due to sunlight from the window?

looks good so far. one thing though, unless you want your centerpiece to be that gsp, you might want to move it because it is going to take over all of the rocks near it. but if thats how you want it then youre all good.
