Wanted to document my 40 gallon mixed reef. It's been running for about 7 years. It has gone through several changes , different coral and rock placements etc.

I am running two ocean revive LED lights and feel like I have these lights dialed. I would like to change to something more modern but everything is doing so well and very stable..so.. I won't do it.

I've noticed throughout the years how much coral respond to very good flow, they love it. It makes coral brighter , at least in my reef.

Believe it or not, I'm using a hang on back for filtration. That's right, a hang on back..lol. Hagan 70g , filter pad , carbon. I do water changes weekly, doing about 10% on average. Parameters very stable although alk tends to drop rather quick.
