 |  My little reef!
This 120gal tank has been in my house for years not doing anything but sitting there. So i decided to turn it into a reef tank. I don't know much about coral except for some of their simple names such as carpet anomie's, tree sponges etc. Here are a few pics tell me what u think.  |

Very nice tank! You've got some pretty hard to keep critters in there (sponges, gorgonians and anemones). I'm guessing that you're providing the anemones with sufficient lighting and the gorgonians and sponges with alot of phytoplankton? | |
