What do you LOVE about your reef?

[Daniel@R2R Verified Admin]

A lot of times we talk about what we would do differently in our reef tanks, and those discussions are valuable, but today let's talk some about what you would do the SAME on any future tanks! What is one thing that you absolutely LOVE about your tank?

This could be ANYTHING. A livestock choice, a routine maintenance plan, equipment choice...ANYTHING.

Oh, and as usual, pics are appreciated!

Tank size. I absolutely LOVE the 40 breeder. As much as I want a 75, the 3 foot short and wide tank just works out perfectly for me

What I love of this hobby is the Diversity of life, the enjoyment of making a little piece of the ocean in my own home and see things grow and healthy. I wish I have the $$$ to go big on this hobby.

One of my favorite things about this hobby is learning something new, applying it, and seeing the results.

The idea that I’m helping keep it all alive! And that it’s thriving because of me

I love watching the progress of various SPS corals as they start encrusting and spreading over the live rock and then developing new branches. Its truly amazing.

I love your tank too!

I’m with you on that one!

My favorite part is watching the tank. Especially mornings and evenings. It brings me peace...atleast when everything is happy

 

[dantimdad]

Nothing really. It's empty still

But, I love the folks I have met on R2R. To tell the truth, I have told someone in a private conversation, ya'll have restored my faith.

Peninsula...can't beat the three sided viewing.

The dimensions... 6’x 5’, previous 450g was 8’x 40”... the extra 20” depth, made such a big difference

My favorite thing about my tank is how it doesn't work on paper or in theory depending on the decade you proposed it. If we listed every major rule for reefing in the last twenty years, an old pico reef breaks them or seemingly breaks them

What a beautiful tank and stand! Love how it’s positioned.

I love the science of the reef tank. Love that we can get so close to a holistic ecosystem. The fact that virtually all phyla w/in Animalia (as well as microbial and algal) is present is awesome.

Also being in a position where I get paid to spend somebody else’s money on reef tanks is kinda cool, too.

Having had medium sized tanks for decades, I've really enjoyed the smaller size and simplicity of my current 12g:

I particularly enjoy viewing all the smaller inhabitants 'up close and personal' as well as observing the corals' interactions over an extended period of time.

This is one of the most rewarding part of my tank.

Anything? it's gotta be how nuts it drives me.
