Well, I don't know if I should really be posting these. Maybe it'll add some humor, or disgust.

Somewhere soon after March:

(It has gotten better as time progressed).

Recent:

:lol:
Check out the differences in the hammer coral even. It even has some big bubble area like it's going to explode on one head of it now. Odd stuff.

Great tanks so far, keep up the posting!

Well I have had all levels of struggles in this hobby that I love. I am embarrased to post some of these pictures but I think I am getting on the right track. Many of the corals are still at a growth standstill, still alive and recovering but no growth. Others have recovered and showing some decent growth and color/health. I beat them up pretty bad but I think I am on the right track now... Here goes

Mine is more progression with total tank rather than growth. I am now at the stage that I am going to let things grow out and take growth difference FTS pics.

Hey, this is supposed to be about PROGRESSION not DECLINE. Joking aside, the tank looks much better now that the algae has subsided. Now, add some coral and watch it grow! :thumbsup:

Your progression is impressive, especially considering such a small window of time. Your tank went from nothing to something quickly.

trido: Looking good. The new tank may look a little empty now but imagine how it will look when fully grown in.

KIWI: Love the aquacscape. In my newer tank I also have setup a couple islands. That clam you hsave is a MONSTER!

Melev: That leather is HUGE! Your tank is really looking good. It not often you see a mixed system done right.

Great jobs guys and gals, keep them coming.

Im gonna take a new pic of my newer reef. Its been only 4 months but I think the changes are worth documenting.

 

[stunreefer]

Great thread Sunny!

Melev it looks like that Toadstool is about to grow our of your tank!!!

Great shots everyone! :thumbsup:

crvz: DUDE, what the freek is up with the slimer? You better hope it doesn't reach out of your tank and grab a dog or child. I love the growth!

It scares me sometimes, too.

WOW Some really nice tanks here! Great idea for a thread Sonny.

Melev that leather is awesome!
