Awilda, your tank is my dream tank...I wish we could close on that house so I can get started!!! I LOVE the black wood housing, and the effort that went into designing the rock and livestock...*sigh* I could sit there with the dogs and stare at it for hours.

What I really like about these pics is that they show the willingness of MR members to help one another, just for the sake of doing it. I wish I could have been there, helping and learning...

Thank you so much Jeff!
Your house is coming! Before you know it you will be sitting in front of your own awesome reef. I know from seeing your nano that you will be doing an awesome job on your next one.;)

To tell you the truth I was blown away with these awesome people! Words are not enough to describe how I felt that day.... To tell the truth I was honestly more excited by the support, and help these people then with the build of the tank it's self. They are forever in my heart!

MR ROCKS

Sorry I missed meeting you also! I got there a little late!

Very happy you got a blueberry gorgi!!! I keep mine in a shaded area, and I feed it a mixture of Oyster Feast, Rotifer Feast, Phytoplankton (all from Reef Nutrition), and to that I also throw in some flying fish eggs!;) Very happy gorgonians in my tank.
Oh man you should see the Orange one I scored with Cherry Corals. It was an awesome find... Pics are coming soon.

I apologize for joining this group knowing absolutely nothing about reefs. I was searching for a bengal cat to adopt which lead me here. However, I love the pictures of the amazing reefs everyone has posted. I wish I were more knowledgeable, at least I am learning a great deal. Thank you for sharing.

Just updating!:)

Should wait till the 25th., but what the heck! My reef will be 3 years old on the 25th. of this month. It had two disasters, 1 with a heater that took out almost all of my fish, added 4 # 4 Koralias at once without acclimating a tank that had never had Power heads to begin with, and I consequently shocked all my LPS. Lost 90% of all my lps with that one. The last one was my stupid forgetfullness mistake (I turned the lights on 1 morning for another reefer to see the tank, and forgot to turn them off before I left the house). The lights normally are on PC 10 AM to 11 PM, MH 5 PM to 10 PM. That day the MH were on 10 AM to 10 PM, when I got home a few of my SPS had began the threaded RTNing process. I tried clipping them at the rtning spot, but lost them anyway.:(

I replaced a few of the fish I lost to the heater, and I even finally got a Powder Blue tang that seems to be loving my reef, the lps that hung in during the PH incident have rebounded, and are doing great! The SPS are doing well, I am working on providing them with an even better home.
I am currently running this tank with a EuroReef RS80 which is very under rated for a tank this size, so I will God willing will be upgrading that to a BM 200 soon.:) I do have an ATO (Reef Fanatic), and a Reefkeeper 2 controlling the lights, heaters, and fan. I do have a the Two Littlefishies reactors, and the GFO & Activated Carbon, but I am not currently running either.

Parameters are staying stable at this time with weekly 20% water changes - using RO/DI water & IO salt.

Not dosing at the moment since pars are stable.;) Did have to dose a few months ago when I had stopped doing weekly water changes, and pars went out of wack.:(

Pics, sorry Moidol your student has not been practicing.:(
