Default Modded Aqueon Evolve 8 Nano Reef

Just wanted to put up a few pics of my modded aqueon evolve 8. I had initially purchased the tank as a FW, however after a day of deliberation, I decided to turn it into a nano reef. I have listed the mods made, as well as what is currently in the tank. It has been running approx. 3 weeks now.

Mods:
Filtration = Live Rock and Live Sand (both from 5 year old established reef tank).
Pump = Eheim 2000 Compact pump
Koralia Nano 240
Pretty basic Heater
Lighting = Coralife 11 inch mini aqualight + 1 Truelumen 12,000K White LED strip (looking to upgrade lighting, and would be open to suggestions).
Removed Acrylic lid and replaced it with glass top (mis-matched size, but it helps eliminate evaporation).

CUC:
2 Red Leg Hermits
2 Blue leg Hermits
1 Nassarius Snail
3 Bumble Bee Snails

Corals (looking for some help identifying some of them):
Favia Coral
Porite coral
Leather Coral
Red Mushrooms
2 frags (not sure on the species to be honest)... hoping to get some help on IDing these two.

Pictures:
Tank:



Porite (looking for specific species)



Leather Coral:



Favia Coral (again not sure on species):



Red Mushrooms:



1st Coral I am not sure of:



2nd Coral I am not sure of:



Sorry for the poor picture quality, most pics were taken with my Cell, while others are taken with my point and shoot. I will be taking some updated pictures with my DSLR as the tank continues to progress and I finish up the last few mods (upgraded lighting and a small protein skimmer).

Thanks for looking.

Rob
