im loving the colors in your tank, i like it!
Thanks guys. My first successful reef was my 5 gallon pico.
I filled it up too fast so I went to a 20 gallon
.
All the corals were growing mad crazy in the tank. Then I somehow convinced my parents to let me upgrade to a 90 gallon.
This tank has been through a lot.
.
I lost all of my fish during the first month due to my stupidity of putting a sponge in fuge without knowing there was soap in it. After getting settle for awhile I stocked up with some corals.

When I finally thought everything was doing great hurricane IKE hit Houston and we were left with no power for 2 weeks. Luckily my uncle a block away from us had power so I transferred all of my lps over to his house an a few sps to my friends house.
I didnt loose much but it was very stressful. The tank stunk up the house from all of the dead bristle worms and snails. After getting back power I redid the rock work.
.
Didnt like that look then redid it again.
.
Thinking that NOW everything was good. My little friend got shredded up and wiped out all of my fish.
The tank then was packed with lps and I wanted to add more corals but the only place where I can up them is on top where they can grow outward. Then I got into sps. I also then changed my bulbs from 14k hamilton to 20k ushios.
This is where I'm at now.
