Hey guys! Pretty new to the hobby and just got my 55 gallon up and running. We've added several things already and just wanted to share and track our tanks progress.

My set up includes:

1 Current USA 6001 Eflux wave pump 1050 GPH (Loop Connect Sync system)
1 Current USA 6005 Eflux wave pump 1050 GPH (Loop Connect Sync system)
Current USA 4107 Orbit IC LED lighting 46 Watt (Loop Connect Sync system)
Eshopps PF-300 Overflow box
Marineland 300 watt heater
Fluval 300 watt heater
Eshopps (3rd Generation) RS-75 Sump
Syncra Silent sump pump 568 GPH

I know it may not be the best setup, but that's why I'm here. Always open to advice!

We've purchased the following fish and inverts:

Multiple blue leg hermit crabs
Multible scarlett hermit crabs
Multiple turbo snails
Multiple Astrea snails
2 Emerald Crabs
1 Sally Lightfoot Crab
1 Coral Banded Shrimp
1 Arrow Crab
1 Common Clownfish
1 Azure Damsel
1 Blue Damsel
(We had 2 Peppermint Shrimp, but traded them once they began to eat my carpet anemone)

Green Hairy Mushroom
Zoanthids frag (that I could use a little help identifying-see photo)
Branching Hammerhead frag
Stripe Saddle Carpet Anemone
