No horror stories. For now it's corals only. But I wouldn't hesitate to put my Green Clown Goby or any other non jumping fish in it. Also have a few snails in there. Inverts will do fine if I decide to add a few. Lose some H2O to evaporation. But would b way more if I were using halide lighting. And if I'm taking off for a few days, I have a plexiglas cover to prevent too much evaporation. Yeah, I'm real happy with the way this 1 turned out. Thanks
