Afflicted Reefer
I wanted to share some shots of my 200 build that has been doing well. I feel like I finally have some decent photos of it. The corals are growing like mad and I have had to begin fragging pretty intensely. My wife complains that I spend way more time and money on this aquarium than her, and she is right.... Hence the name 'the mistress'
After having had a 120 gallon tank built this one, I appreciate what stability will do for the corals. All of the back of house stuff is jambed under my stair where there aslo happens to be my boiler and hot water heater. Needless to say it is super tight. I have over 50 species of corals in tank and many species of fish:
