Lalani's 40br

[Lalani]

Hihi, might as well post my tank here too.
Some of you may recognize my name, lol.

This tank was set up in mid March so almost 7 months old. It was an upgrade from my previous 20H tank.. which was an upgrade from my first 10gal tank.. so some of the livestock is 2 years old. I have never used a skimmer or sump.. and I don't dose anything. I like to keep things simple. Tell me what you think!

You don't see a reef tank with marco much.. this is a first for me.. it definitely looks good.. Do you have to trim it alot?

Yeah, I'm enjoying the macro growth in the tank. I used to pull the halimeda every few weeks, but I haven't pulled any since I set this tank up. The only macro that isn't welcome is the dictoya.. but it hasn't gotten out of control yet.

good to see you here.Tank looks great as always :}

Thanks!

Pic update! Started dosing with a 2-part solution and things are looking better than they had been for a while. I give up on trying to keep fish though!
