Looking Good
So I have set the tank up using existing live sand and rock from my larger full reef. Also use the water and marine pure from the tank. The component include:

Tank - 35x25x19
Wier - Black 4mm acrylic
Filter media - marine pure at this stage (may add some rows or bio pellets in a bag at a later point)
Heater - Fluval 50w I had lying around
Lighting - from a Marine Nuvo (used to be on my sump)
Return - 400lhr eBay pump (provides heaps of flow in such a small tank)

I will consider adding a very small protein skimmer if I can fit it in.

I will be adding a small rock from my DT that has multiple zoas on it as well as a small toxic hammer frag I have and also will look for some more colourful morphs.
Fish:
Clown Gobie
Soot Gobie

I also want to add a small shrimp but have no idea what at this stage. Also will add a couple of CUC.

Looks amazing mate! You should get a real tiny pair of clowns for there and a tiny nem would be perfect

Someone suggested a small nem and a pair of porcelain crabs. I think it might be a little small for clowns that's why I think I will go with the gobies I already have.

Yeah definitely no clowns in this one. A watchman goby + shrimp would be cool, they don't move around much at all.
