It's been a while since I've posted anything, been very busy with work. Here are a few reef progression pics starting December to now.

December 13th
Live rock and sand only.

December 19th first fish.

Jan 17th a lot more going on fish and corals.

March 13th new Zoas in a fallow tank.

Tank today left side.

Tank today right side. A few more corals, and one wrasse later. Everything is going great. I Have had a few upsets through the months but I've learned so much and honestly to anyone having new tank issues just stay with it and things will get better.

Great rock work. Love the setup. Kenya trees are so underrated imo. Keep up the gorgeous work!

I love the rock work! Nice progress so far. As a word of caution, the Flame Angel is likely going to cause problems due to overcrowding (assuming this is the 20 gallon tank in your signature line). I kept one in a 50 gallon tank before I knew better and after a year it started to kill off its tank mates. They really do best from an aggression standpoint in a tank of at least 75 gallons.

You are exactly right, however he died from one of my many mistakes along the road. He infested the tank with ich which I could have avoided had I used the proper QT tank. After he and my clown passed my tank went fallow for a long time. Then I had an outbreak of Planeria flatworms, purchased a Mel wrasse and now we are here today. Thriving but not perfect, a continuous work in progress.
