Here are some coral pics of what I have so far.

Forget to add them? I do that all the time

 

[JimSWreef]

I realized I took them on my phone and not my iPad lol.
I'll update Friday when I get my new livestock.

I am joining in late, but have read every step of your fantastic journey, well done, actually you really went far and beyond for having the eye to see what you wanted and made it happen. Amazing final results,"******". I was hooked on the tread for two good reasons. One: I am in the process of starting my 75, starting with FWLR. I have a few years within the hobby and like most started of small and was hooked. Unfortunately I had to donate my entire stock of a 100 and 150 reef tanks. Mind you it was no where near as complex as yours, but never less moving from Texas to Arizona and knowing we would rent a patio home for 6 months until our new home was built. Now we are settled and it is time to dive in slowly and smartly this time. My second appeal is: the common interest for rotor wings, particularly the chinook, my husband was a crew chief on one and we were in Hawaii it this lead to his employment after serving and education along the way to turn it into a job as an engineer supporting the army with the Apache AH-64, I believe their on the D model now, anyway we also were in Osan and many other places and understand your dedication to our country and makes me so grateful all you guys are the reason I am free, Thank you for your continued service. So now that I wrote a book, looking forward to your future post and maybe you can send me a list of must haves for a pleasant tank. Once again your work is outstanding !

Thank you so much for the kind words and thank you for following. I will let you know how my equipment does for my setup and give you my personal pro and con with my experiences. Its a little too soon to tell as my setup hasnt been together for too long. I am still playing with the apex.

I do have some new life coming in by plane tomorrow! I am super excited! Many thanks to Regal Reef out of anchorage, ak. Awesome business for coral and fish. Definitely recommend them. I will post pictures tomorrow!

Thank you and your man for your service. I love your crew chiefs and flight engineers! We cant fly and do what we do without them!

Cheers

JimSWfish, out.

I am picking up some new additions and will update with pics when they stabilize and open up [emoji4]

Here is my cyano
