The tank looks great! You are almost at a year! How does it feel?

Thank you! The tank has actually been running for a little bit more than a year but in a few days it'll make a year since the cycle was competed. It feels great and looking back at pictures it has changed a lot since day 1. Can't wait to see it in 4 or 5 years from now.

Guys we have a problem....... I can't seem to stop buying frags and the bigger problem is that I'm running out of rock space to glue them.

This came today for Top Shelf Aquatics & Fraghouse Corals! They also sent a few nice freebies.

Thank you!

The T5's have really made a big difference in my tank. Colors are more vivid and growth is great, I'm only running the t5's for 4 hours and look at the great results I'm getting so you should get better results than me

Any new pics on the walt disney piece? Jus wondering how its growing.....

Hey sorry for taking so long to reply, I had not seen you post. The frag that I have came from Mike B. and in his tank it was under T5's, in my tank the frag was under LED's for a while so it lost most of the pink but now after about two months under T5's and LED's some of that color is coming back.

This picture is under daylight so its not going to look like what most people put up which the pictures were taking under royal blue LED's.

P.S. I have well over 100 frags in there but they are frags/fragments so its hard to see them in a FTS

awesome! Looks like the addition of a little more light and a bit more flow helped a lot! The tank looks super and I am very jealous of your coral list. I'll be sticking around to see more great grow out comparison pics.

Keep up the great work,
Ben
