Behold, my first foray into fish tanks. I elected (stupidly) to start with an SPS dominant saltwater reef tank. This tank started cycling in May 2021 so It's approximately 1.5 years old. Not a lot of progress to start as I couldn't keep my hands out of the tank. It seemed as if I was always changing the aqua scape, coral positions, fish etc etc until It settled into this final aquascape around December 2022. The corals have progressively been added over the past year, so as you can see there are more mature colonies as well as fresh looking frags. There are only two things that I would do differently with this system... 1) Avoid putting my hands in the tank...but seriously...just don't.... and 2) I would have dosed Kalkwasser on a peristaltic dosing pump consistently throughout the day instead of putting it in my ATO, or not using it at all. Kalk has done wonders for me, as long as it's dosed consistently.
