Coming up on 10 years...

It's hard to believe but my tank is coming up on its 10 year anniversary. It's crazy to look back at some of the photos of when I just started and where it is now....

Back in 2007

Bro your reef keeping skills are undeniable, it's not very often you see such mature reef tanks. On a side note 10yrs ago I was still learning how to do simple math, write in cursive,ride a bike,.etc.

Do your zoas & palys kill the bases of your acropora or do they live in harmony?

I've got an SPS dominant tank in the works but really feel like letting a few zoas colonize on the rocks.

What kind of Monti is that on the sand bed? That thing is sexy. Whole tank is, really. Nothing beats a mature tank that's grown in like that.

Thank you. My tank is in a good place right now. It has suffered a few disasters over the years (mostly of my own creation) but thankfully has always managed to pull through.

They are Rastas. Pretty much all of the photos were taken under blue lighting which explains the color.

You should see the pile of coral skeletons I have amassed since getting in this hobby...

It's a Sunset Monti...again, most of the photos were shot under heavy blue lighting which makes everything look a bit more brilliant than when all the lights are on

I have no issues with zoa's/Paly's bothering any of my SPS. It's getting the SPS to play nice together that's the trick. I do see issues with the Superman shrooms killing my SPS though. Can't have them any where near my sticks.
