Obviously needs some good mid-water fish and coral but its my start. Needs a bit more liverock too.

Nice horseshoe crab. I have always like them. I do think you need a bit more live rock but don't get too much, some time less is more. keep up the good work.

the horseshoe crabs are pretty cool. I like the whole "living fossil" aspect of them. He just kinda troops around under the sand lookin for pods. I ordered some critters called "Triops". Or Triopsidae. They are really closely related to horseshoes. They breed like crazy and are easy to rear. I might try them in a reef setting. Probably just in my refugium at first.

Those are pretty cool, not sure if they are "reef safe", I guess they are kind of like sea monkeys then it should be okay.
