Hi Fellas. Well the past year has seen many changes in my life, which put the tank and forum on the back burner. Thanks to the friendship and inspiration of Spotter (whose tank is amazing by the way) I'm starting to get the tank back on track.

I had a battle with Ich which knocked out most of my large fish, include the Idol and Copperband and more of less had to start again with the fish. Now it's mostly full of Anthias, Bartletts and Dispars, along with a stunning Maculiceps Tang. I lost a number of my Acro colonies, but others are thriving.

I'll just leave some photos here to show where the tank is as of 1/16/2015. I'll do my best to come by more often.

Glad you're back Owen. Tank is looking good. Everything is coming along nicely.

Still looking sharp. How do you believe Ich got into your system? I ask becuase currently I do not QT my coral, but I have read a lot of reports where reefers believe the additional n of a non QT coral was how they obtained it. I have considered build another QT setup just for corals. Your thoughts?
