It is amazing to me to see it from the beginning again, It's crazy how much has changed, I love our tank and I'm totally hooked!

Full tank shot as of today!

As you can see the tank is full, so we bought a frag tank yesterday. JBJ 20 Gallon Frag Tank with a 4 Bulb T5HO Coralife light fixture. We had a 6 gallon Fluval Edges mini reef that we shut down and used the live rock and livestock to get the frag tank running. We will miss having the mini reef in the kitchen, but I did not want to maintain 5 separate tanks.

Can't believe it's almost been a year since I have posted anything on the build thread. Here are a few picture updates. Not much has changed as far as equipment other than replacing the Jebao WP with and RW 8. Mostly have just been keeping up with our maintenance and enjoying it!

Jason I really like the tank! When you frag that monti, I want some.

Do you still have the starfish in there? Any problems with it?

We have a new star fish in our tank, we lost our other one pretty quickly.

You got it! I will have to frag it soon. I almost can't get by it with the magnet cleaner now.

We had one for almost a year and then one day an emerald crab was eating one of its legs.

The one that's in there now we have had for about a month no problems.

I purchased a clam at the FFM. I don't know if it didn't travel well, or I didn't acclimate it correctly, or it was just my tank but I lost it after a few days.
