Bored, Lets See Those Progression Pictures!!

Thank you!

I. LOVE. LPS! The movement they give through the tank is unbelievable. What I love most tho is balance. I love the polyps (zoas/mushrooms), LPS, and SPS all together to create a diverse tank.

The tanks that pull this off and make it look great are special. But then again...any tank that allows these creatures to live is special. Very difficult and rewarding hobby.
Very very true

Killer Set up! Also I love the LPS on Softies once again! SPS are cool but honestly I think the SPS dominated tank craze is a bit over rated. Dont get me wrong I want and love SPS but im saying I get tired of all the SPS dominated tanks all over the place. A good LPS reef or nice mix is a welcome change.

Hmm...it is a start :) Tank is actually in the house, on a stand, and will come back and update plumbing complete with sump hopefully this weekend. This should get me back on track and re-focused.

Hmm...Jan 18? Ok, since then I started the tanks cycle in February 2018 (fishless) and it completed in March 2018. I was busy with work traveling and didn't really get back to it until April 15th 2018. I started the skimmer, lights somewhere around April 1st then moved my 40 breeder into it on the 15th of April. Have to say hind sight being 20/20 I wouldn't use, nor recommend. dry rock. I moved over four 6 to 12" hammer colonies and 10 rose bubble tip anemones of which 4 RBTA's never seemed to like the new tank and the hammers slowly melted away to just a single tiny frag that I have left. Even a large Kenya tree I had slowly faded. I believe that most if it was due to the dry Pukani slowly aging while also leaching a lot of phosphates. Also a year later ran into a serious GHA outbreak that didn't help.

Also I would like to thank the poster above me @Troy V - you are the one person who inspired me to purchase a clam after I did a lot of research on it. I ended up talking to Dr. Mac at Pacific East Aquaculture and picked up a Maxima not to long ago. I really enjoy it. It is about 3 1/2" in size and everyone loves it. I decided to go with smaller clams :D
