Construction of the maintenance room and the location of the main display is great!

The layout of the rocks was amazing!

Success and good shots!

Took out one of my QT tanks (still have the other) and added a new frag tank yesterday. Plumbed it into the system and so far so good. Now I just need to fill it with frags.

I love your setup. I like that everything appear so clean and sterile.

That is the level! Cleanliness and neatness surprises!
Really love your reef and your approach to every detail!

I went with a Skimz SK251 cone skimmer. The thing is awesome. I have been very impressed with it's performance so far.

It has been a year since I first started my tank. Here are a few pics.

Amazing

Congrats,

and the thing I love the most, is that you let it grow slowly and naturally.

Great Work !

Nice growth shots.

I see what I need to do more of.

I need to make a chart and just start clicking.

I'm thinking we should do away with sayings like "watching grass grow" or "watching paint dry."

Steve,

How do you feel the LEDs are performing for you? Coral color and growth wise?

Steve,

I have to say that I am still trying to get the lights dialed in. I am happy with the light they provide and the growth on some of my corals is fantastic. The issues I have had are that some corals seem to bleach easily from the intensity and some take a long time to color up.

I have been experimenting with the intensity of the lights as well as how far off of the water i run them. I seem to be finally finding the sweet spot for them but only time will tell.

Nice shots of the tank and the progression. Happy anniversary on your tank also.

Awesome build - this is incredible. Would love to come check it out sometime. I'm over in Palmetto by Sysco.

Anytime.... just shoot me a PM.

Great looking setup.. The corals that seem to bleach easy have you thought about moving them down in the tank? It might be easier to move a few corals that are getting to much light instead of moving the lights and changing intensity that might effect them all.

What lfs do you use? If you don't mind answering.
