My first was a 52 gallon bow front. No sump , no skimmer, just weekly water changes. Filled with all live rock (dry rock was not a thing back then) within a year it was full of coral. Still the best tank I’ve had as far as no issues and coral thriving!

A few updates and some other progress pics, still working on gathering everything.

All of my baby clowns found new homes this weekend. I have a few saved back for @fishguy242 and @Nate Chalk I will be resetting all of my grow-outs and taking what i learned to grow a new batch.

Random torch losses this past week. I have had these torches for years. lost one completely that i had for 2.5 years and another i have had for 3 has 33% die off. just out of no where BJD. Treating tank and hoping for the best on those.

Nem tank... Kind of wish i still had all these beautiful nems in a nice lagoon style tank. there are definitely things i would have done differently though. this tank was a stand alone, then i built a larger system to incorporate a frag tank along with it.

Appreciate you God Father of my reef. Looking forward to raising ur finned children in Ohio.

I honestly blame @MERKEY for our troubles. I bet he's doing some witchcraft to smite all other torches so that he's the only one with them left. Only cause as you know I recently lost an 8 header for no reason either. Sps are taking off etc.

I really want to hit those shops in Cincinnati with you again. May ask them to order me a chaots wrasse too for the day we go :)

So sorry to hear about your torches guys.

Some of the most temperamental corals!

I've definitely had my losses...and wouldn't wish it on anyone ;)

It's almost like old tank syndrome hits them out of know where. Both of your tanks are looking sexy!
