Oh I just tore down this little tank, my big one is still my pride and joy, turned 1 year old in November

Hi Kat - Zoas are looking good! Looks like you still have that unusual Porites on the right (can't quite remember the name...)

Hi metrokat, You are an inspiration to me and I am sure many others. Your tank is magnificent. I have decided to make a display refugium and place it alongside my reef/fish display tank. My thoughts were to grow seagrasses in a large sump refugium but in following your build I am going with numerous macros instead. I am incredibly excited about building my refugium. WOW...is that an oxy moron or what. I think you are in the forefront of an aquarium revolution. Many people will be rethinking their refugiums. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your kind words. Macros are amazing for both a visual feast and their nutrient export capabilities. Live-plants has the best variety and send a lot of quantity for the price. They are in FL though. Destruction under the water is probably not going to be mentioned for a while, as people rebuild their lives on ground.
