I love it! Everyone at work is always asking me questions about what things are and how it all works. I wish I would've went to a full reef sooner.

That's awesome! I've been looking at the lobby at my work since the day i started here thinking a nice reef tank would be perfect lol.
looks great man.

Really nice thread, I have enjoyed watching your progress. I don't think I'd get any work done if I had that at my job.

More pics from today.

This guy never comes out so I snagged a picture.

Sump camera.

More updates!

Added an apex controller to the tank. Loving it so far!

Rbta is doing good. It had a small tear in its disk when I got it but it has since healed up and popped out a bunch of new tentacles.

Also picked up this guy today.

Where do you see a domino damsel? Lol

And yes. It's crushed coral. And I regret it already. Should've went with sand.

Lol in this pic the darkest fish looks very much like a domino, but i see now its kind of red, is it a maroon clown?

It is a maroon clown. Not that they are any nicer than a domino.

7 month update

The system has progressed along very well. Very nice job on the build.

Pretty reef!

8 month update. I had to replace the tank due to a silicone seam issue. So everything got moved around. I switched the crushed coral substrate out for Fiji pink sand. My anemone split. I also added some birdsnest, poccilopora, and birds of paradise. Added a big serpent star too.
