It looks beautiful! In the second pic what is the flying saucer looking coral in the middle of tank near the top and the feather looking one all the way to the right. I'm so excited about starting our first tank my head is about to explode, can't take care of a tank with an exploded head I don't think.
 
Happy birthday to you, happy tank day to you, happy tank birthday to Paaaaauuuuuulll, happy birthday to you [emoji225] [emoji226] [emoji322]
 
Congratulations Paul, it's amazing what supermodels can do for longevity! ;)

Actually when I go away for a few days a Supermodel takes care of the tank for me and I swear the fish like her much better than me. They always look so happy when she is here.

The Flying saucer thing is a montipora. They all grew from one tiny 1/2" piece. Occasionally one would get in a bad mood and bleach over night which is what happened to that big one.
They grow like weeds all over the place.
That guy is a leopard wrasse. If your head explodes, don't let any pieces of it fall in your tank. Most fish frown on that sort of thing. :eek:




 
Thank you. :D

Happy 46th birthday to your tank. Man, that wrasse looks sad. What happened?
 
Paul, that is an _achievement_!

I've probably been keeping fish close to that long, but I haven't been keeping them in the same tank for anywhere _near_ that long. You've much to teach us, and though I'm still going to quarantine my fish, I'm also still going to read every post of yours that I come across, with respect - and often with a smile.

Happy Birthday to your tank!! That is the stuff dreams are made of. Just hearing of and seeing a tank that brilliant for this long is really inspirational to a lot of fellow reefers. Great work!!
 
Paul, I have a whole bunch of respect for you. I have read a bunch of your posts on here and other sites and I love your way of keeping things simple. I am from NJ and I would love to look you up if I get out to the Island some time in the future.

Eric.
 
Totally impressed! Thanks for sharing. I would love to know what equipment you've used over the years. If you ever have the time to write up a thread on that, I think many of us would like to learn more from your experience.
 
Wow! 46 years young! That is such a huge accomplishment!

Congratulations [emoji106]
