Not a full tank progression shot, but here is a progression shot of my favorite coral - my fathead dendros. Originally it was 2 heads and now there are about 20 all around it and it is the size of a softball when fully open.

Thanks mdbannister for the compliment. I keep my website ( link in my signature ) as much to up to date as possible and includes an updates blog. A build thread would just be duplicate information and yet another place to maintain.

Love your website, great pictures and info about your system. And CONGRATS on winning the Neptune Systems 2016 Marine Aquarium Hobbiest of the Year Award!! I remember seeing your display when you were given this award (or saw some pictures somewhere) so am very glad you posted here and shared your website. Also your custom ATS (the one with red acrylic that I think you're using currently) looks awesome! I'd love it if you could share some more detailed info and photos of your ATS and how you built in, maybe on your website or on another r2r thread (lol please?!?). You run this system skimmerLESS, correct? Your ATS must work wonderfully considering you opted to use it as the heart of your filtration instead of your old Bubbleking 3000 external skimmer that you used to use!! Thanks for sharing!
