Nope, the first was a budget build. Cheap as possible, 90g was used bowfront. Cheap, but ran into some issues.

Husband loves me and bought me a 112 after we had to toss the 90 as I didn't like the 60 anymore. Tall and narrow is a bad combination.

Impressive!

I have to ask, to what do you attribute your success? I want to emulate it. How old is the tank now?

1 year and 3 months. (I did transfer the corals in the first pic from a previous tank.)

Im a believer in natural stuff. Refugium with chaeto, Oxydator, and phytoplankton everyday. Calcium Reactor and supplement with dosing TM All For reef.

Also - I’m reading and learning from R2R all the time!

The aussie torch is the fluffy one. A small short stem goni on the right, green tip hammer to the left of him.

He's the one who got me back into reefing. I moved and couldn't bring my old reef with me. That was painful to walk away from. New life, new reef. I'm happy

I have one of these, one of my favorites and a surprisingly fast grower, think it was a GI Joe.

Edit: meant to ask if it looks as green as the update photo in real life? Crazy!
