With the year 2023 coming to a close soon, I am wondering how your tank has been this year. Has it been flourishing with all sorts of new livestock, maybe it has gone through some rough patches this year, or maybe you have completely overhauled the tank by getting a bigger one. Curious to see what everyone says!

Looks like a break down in progress.
 
Larger reef and mantis tank been dealing with some dino troubles, although that seems to be resolving itself without intervention in my mantis tank.

My 15G however, has been doing phenomenally!

And this is over the weekend. The tank has only been wet for 3 months, so still just beginning...

Hey, you went from nothing to a great start though!
 
In less than 5mos, my anemone-dominant + frag tank went through a huge transformation!

This year has been a challenging one. Father passed and I the process of making sure my mom is ok and all that goes into that. So I became a lazy reefer and let things slide and wound up loosing almost all my SPS. Now things are back on track and looking forward to growing new stuff out.
