Hello everyone,
My old build thread was on reef central so I thought it would be nice to create one here, so to start the thread I will show a bunch a pictures of the progression

Your GSP have seem to been doing well

The gsp growth has been amazing, all of it came from a frag the size of a quarter

So about a week ago I went to the fish store and picked up these two flasher wrasses.The first one pictured is a carpenters and the second is a blue. They struggled at first because of the clownfish bullying them a lot surprisingly, but as time went on the bullying has subsided and they are doing much better

Just an update picture, the tank has Ben running pretty smoothly for a while now with some small algae out breaks here and there but nothing too bad.


I have started reading a lot of other people’s incredible build threads on here and now I wish I had spent more time documenting my journey with this tank to share with this wonderful community!

Just an update picture not much has changed honestly, the only coral I have added was a single acropora just to see if I was ready for the next step in reef keeping. It’s been about 3 weeks and it’s still doing well so let’s see if I can keep it going
