My 90g Mixed reef

[Matthew Dambra]

My system has been running for approx 5 years time however I have went through swings of being really into the tank and neglecting it.

This is the earliest image i have Dec 2012

Photo from Feb 2013

Photo from May 2014
Large photo gap from when i was in school and paid no attention to the tank

June 2017 as you can see my mushrooms and Candy canes didn't mind the neglect one bit

Photo from Today 7/28/2017
Removal of the mushrooms from about 10 rocks caused most of my biological filtration to take a hit suffering from a small amount of cyanotic on a few of the rocks but the corals seem to be doing just fine

I really like the red star in your current tank...Was that a blue linkia star in the 2012 pic?

I have had the red star for a few weeks now he seems to be doing good hopefully he will be able to have some longevity in the tank.
Yes it was a blue linkia star however i have never had luck keeping one alive
