I started a build thread over in the DIY forum last year, where I used to spend most of my time. But then I discovered the local reef forum for my neck of the woods and my posting activity on RC really petered off. Since starting up a new thread on my local forum, I've most of my time on RC has been spent silently stalking this SPS Keepers subforum.
Now that my tank is just over a year old and I am beginning to have success growing my corals of choice, SPS, I figured it's finally time to start a thread in here for documenting my progress, sharing my experiences, and showing off my pieces as they grow! This is when things really start getting fun
.
