Tanks is coming along nicely. I'm 1 year in on my 125 gal 72x18x24. Def have ups and downs. Good luck with the tank. So far so good!

Thanks! It really does I'm finally on the tail end of an algae outbreak, I ended up adding a protein skimmer after years of reefing without using one on my old 75 gal (had real liverock back then). Made a world of difference and now I'm back to the fun part again stocking . Anyone wanna shout out any suggestions? Coral or fish wise.

When I enter my dimensions into an aquarium volume calculator it comes up as 145.9 us gallons. Is that incorrect? 72x19.5x24

Darwin clown mean mugging me (defending its powerhead) and the birdsnest under blues.

Got some algae issues but its coming along. I am adding an icecap algae scrubber to kill off the algae plague and I came into a bit of money so I'm phasing out the blackboxes for a Reef Breeders - Photon 50-V2+ and t5 combo. I honestly miss the look of a 50/50 t5.

Got a massive brain coral this is right after adding and the following day so its shrunk up a bit. But when fully out its huge! Also ordered a ton of zoas from fragbox of course fedex gave me the delayed notification and my overnight shipping is now 2 day shipping.

I just realized how neglected this thread is I will get some updated pics of the tank tonight. I also realized Ive never posted a pic of myself on here so heres a pic of me in the garden (with my prized basil plants) and what Ive been doing all winter rather than updating my build thread haha.

Revamped my sump the old rubbermaid was bowing out. Not the best pics glass needs a clean but it was funny watching the hogfish trying to hide from the camera
