So why the change in aqua scape? Looks nice but you might need more LR for bio filtration. Cool scape though.

Limit as in light demanding? If you can keep zoas try the next step up and go from there. I started with mushrooms and ended up with an SPS horn coral in my Spec.

I actually managed to bring the sexy shrimp back from almost certain death, it is quite amazing. She was gray and colorless and not moving but after a night of being in the right conditions again, she recovered 
. I have changed the structure again and I'm quite pleased with the results
Current stock is now: 2 sexy shrimp, 1 blur leg hermit, 1 red leg hermit, 1 pom pom crab. GSP, green ricordea and a small xenia frag. Total rock is 3 pounds in tank and 2-3 pounds of rubble in rear

New scape looks good, haha you sure change your rock alot. Glad to hear the shrump made it, I used 3 astreas in both my picos and they kept them pretty clean. Just make sure you toss in a few extra empty shells so your hermits don't got after the snails.
