Absolutely awesome Adam!! TTOM material IMO. You and Nate currently have the premier reefs in the tri-cities. Mine unfortunately has fallen from grace since moving. After my next move in October I hope to get my tank back to its former glory. Keep it up Adam. I'll have to get over there for an inspirational visit.

Great reef progression! I am thinking about getting a few Blue Reef Chromis for my 75 gallon newbie start up and was wondering what your experience with that fish is. Did the Blue Reef "thin the herd" a bit? Is it really well on its way to becoming 5" long (LA states this is the max size)?
I was looking at getting a small school of them.
Many Thanks!

Thanks Jerry,
dg3147 I've actually only ever had the one blue reef chromis, but have had it for 2 years now. He was a little aggressive toward my regular chromis when I had them, but not too bad. He's been this size 3.5" for over a year, so I dont think he'll get much bigger.
I think a school would be sweet, I like them way better than any other chromis. I saw schools of them swimming when we went snokeling in jamaica

Adam, this is the first time that i've looked through your thread. BLOWN AWAY!!!! That tank is completely amazing! I can't believe how full it is, and how many different corals you have. I agree with the earlier statement that this tank could deffinately become a TOTM. I wish I lived a little closer to Endicott so I could check that beauty out in person sometime. Very nice job!

I think it's time for a 180 Adam.....at least! Caps can be awesome, but they take up a lot of realestate and light. That tank is awesome. I love the encrusters on the overflow and back glass.

with a tank like that, your least favorites could very well be someone else's favorites. One man's garbage......
Perhaps a larger frag set up then? Check w/ABC in syr if you ever come up, they might give you some credit. Even if it gets you a bucket of salt it beats tossing stuff.

Yeah, I had a frag setup once, but it was too painful to keep two setups... It would be much simpler with a basement sump to plumb off of, but with the main tank self contained in the living room, it's pretty tough.
Normally I do try to help out the local reefers or trade for credit (although local stores can't keep SPS), but the area's reefing crowd is dwindling, and I unfortunately keep missing swaps. I'll check with ABC next time I head up. I usually just "suffer" with stuff in the main tank until I find takers.
