Beautiful tank. Thanks for sharing! It's interesting to see how it has grown over time! Have you had to remove any corals as they grow out? I would imagine so!

Thank you

Most of the original corals are still in there and had grown from fingernail sized frags to decent sized colonies (I have to prune them every once in a while). I have given away a bunch of Ricordia 'shroom clones over the years, but kept the original stock. The ones that had to be removed completely were a Red Planet Acro that was hyper aggressive and expanded too much and a few LPS that couldn't play nice in such a small tank (Scollys, Lobos).

Here's an example:

I love this tank! I would be so happy to have a little gem like this. I am about to start up a fluval spec V.

Glad you like it

Good luck with the Fluval!

Wow awesome work any way we can get a look at the old pictures of the tank?

We can thank Photobucket for the blocking of the earlier photos (they want $399/year to reinstate 3rd party hosting) and since they own the photos on their site...it's 'pay up or get out'

However, I found a few of the oldie pics that basically show the progression over the many years (using a different photo hosting site).


Humble beginnings:

Starved for nutrients:

Yay, clownfish poop and proper lighting makes for happy corals:

Some folks on other sites can't see the current 9th year FTS, so posting again here:
