Fish Think Pink

Hello reefers, I have been in the hobby for more than 15 years, I started at a early age in freshwater fish, and moved to a planted aquarium, I actually still have the planted one, as I believe it needs little maintenance compared to the magic world of reefs. I started the reef world with a nano believing it would be less expensive. at the beginning it was, however the smallest of the mistakes in a nano cause a chain reaction. Currently have a 90 gallon reef aquarium that I mounted in May 2017, however like many here, I had big crashes and pest attacks to the point of deciding either to invest time and money or quit due the fact that I travel too much. As you can imagine as I'm writing this, the first option has prevailed and I'm here to learn and share whatever has worked to me.
One of the pictures where I almost had good control in the tank, I now know that my sand is to small and easy to move , (mistakes done from the beginning) so Cyano was part of the problems.
I will post a picture of my tank of Feb 3rd that was the day I decided to react and get rid of a massive Aptasia problem and decided to focus on recovering my few corals. As well I post a
picture of Feb 8 after I took the choice to react.
Welcome! Glad you joined. Sounds like you have BBA - Bounce Back Ability - that is great for this hobby and wonderful life skill.
Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)
