I... I can't even express myself right now! Too emotional. That is what every reef tank aspires to be when it grows up!

Evening Steve

That is a great tank. I went back and looked at your 8 year vid. Amazing growth and saw some changes. Did you move that gorgeous angel or lose him?

I also saw you mentioned in in this vid everything was grown from frags and I was like now way. Than I saw the prior vid and I was like, way.

. And, then I even caught a plug in this vid and chuckled. Some great work man.

Gotta ask if you don’t mind what is your background. I apologize if I missed it. Is this in an office? Fell like need more info

edit, I also forgot to mention the rock beauty. Hard,y ever see them much. One of my favorite.

All the Angels are fine I have a Rock Beauty, Emperor Angel, and Flame Angels. Right now I only have 3 Flame Angels as one did jump out of the tank. I am thinking of adding 3 more to get the harem up in numbers. If I only add one chances are the other 3 would kill it quickly. The Flames are important to the tank since they lay eggs every night which helps feed the Anthias and Green Chromis.

He is great!!! I think the tank is a bit small for him actually. I got him from the local fish store who wanted to give him to someone with a larger tank. We actually traded some Coral Frags for the Vlamingi Tang. It is a shame the Tang gets so big as he is such a peaceful fish and prefers to be hand fed.

The Flame Angels will annoy the SPS corals, The Rock Beauty and Emperor pretty much leave the SPS corals alone. The emperor will eat softer corals. Notice that there is no Ricordia coral in the tank. That would be his favorite snack. I love the Emperor so Ricordia Coral is just something I have to go without. The Rock Beauty will eat sponge which there is quite a bit of but it is not in easy enough places to see, unless of course you are a Rock Beauty.

The back ground is Green Star Polyp. AS you can see it is taking over the tank. If it stayed on just the back wall it would be great. So far it has not been horribly problematic but it is a concern.
