30L Pico Reef

Hi All,

Starting a tank diary here to follow my 30L pico reef.

My wife and I have just had a baby son so the idea behind this tank is that it will be full of colour and movement for the wee guy to enjoy and see, as well as keeping us happy!

I previously had a 135L setup but decided to downgrade to this little 30L pico to save time on maintenance and costs! This tank was started on 28h October 2016

Here it is as it stands:

The long term plan is to fill out the top deck with SPS, then some more LPS around the middle deck as well as expand the Acan garden at the bottom. Then some more softies randomly dotted around.
