SPS 40g Breeder Progression

[Reefkids]

New around here and haven't posted much. Just wanted to say hello to everybody and introduce our tank. This tank has been up and running for about a year and a half at this point. We went for almost a 10 year break from our first tank (mostly moving around), however did not stray from the love of this hobby. We decided to put things together ourselves and learned a lot of what to do and not to do for future tanks.

Very nice tank! What are your specs? What lights are you using ?

Got things going finally after some trial and error. These are through the first year or so.

Wow, beautiful tank. Probably the best 40B I've ever seen. Any details on your maintenance schedule?

Current pictures. Still recovering from a major ALK swing that almost wiped us out. Some of the corals are still healing.
