Mid-Year tank progress! Let's see your growth!

December of last year, tank was 3 months old.

Yesterday, tank is 8 months old.

December was the very first pic once it was cycled and able to sustain life. February we added coral and July is the latest.

We lost our butterfly and lost some coral but we added some new fish and found some great coral and the experience has been so gratifying. We also finally made it to the 6 month mark and got a RBT!!! That has been the best addiction so far.

Ok I wasn't going to post with the state of chaos. Almost got my remaining RBTA's transferred to a 32g but still have not been able to catch the avalanche (smart and fast) so some RBTA's still in 200. I have a whole lot of stuff in the 200 to be put in place but keep putting off some of it until the tank is RBTA free and I can rearrange some more and start placing. In the middle of cleaning and water change today so here's a few quick pics. This 200 remodel is almost all Euphyllia, FL ricordia, yuma, shrooms, goni, alve, blastos and zoa.

New 32 still has some uglies going on

About time for a stand repaint too.

I started mine mid December, and it's just now starting to look decent for me. It took about 5 months for the algae and cyano to clear up.

While I don’t have a picture of my tank yet, my mid year update on the new home build. My house is nearing completion hopefully in the next few months. This house was designed to have a peninsula tank as the center piece in the living room.

Its Mid year and we have seen many members at the beginning of the year acquire new fish, new coral(s) and even a new tank. By now, you have experienced tank maturity and even growth in both fish and coral.

What changes have you seen since that acquisition?

Tell us and post photos! We'd love to see it !


For me, its been fish and coral. I got this tank in Early December and it's matured quickly with noticeable changes literally monthly.

Pretty impressed with our start till now even for a biocube.. will get where i want it to be
 
Mid year update. Well I’ve been busy. I finally convinced my wife I needed to upgrade so I got the ProClear V2 150 to replace my Red Sea Max E260. I love the new tank and my fish seem to enjoy the extra space. My purple tang and powder blue used to bicker but now they have their own little mountains which they defend all day long. Pretty entertaining. But other than that my Goni collection is thriving. My torches are looking great. Actually looking at it now, everything looks great so I as for a midyear update. I’m pretty happy.
