First let me apologize to everyone for not being around much lately. Buying a house and planning a wedding has me swamped.

And since I never started a tank thread to begin with, I thought i would post a few old pics and my latest FTS for the one year anniversary of my first ever salt water tank. Hope everyone likes it :)


JAN 2008 First set up tank

JAN 2009 - More corals have been added since. Purple tipped frogspawn, a green ric, a nice favia rock, two more candy canes of different colors, a torch coral, tubs blue zoas, a few more branching hammer pieces, stargazer and palm tree clove corals, and on the frag rack is a few more zoas, two monti caps, and a chalice. All is doing well :)

Thanks Kris :)

Yeah, the coralline growth is annoying as hell. Had I realized, I wouldnt have placed the rockwork right against the front of the tank. It never dawned on me at the time that that would be a problem. So needless to say, the front of my tank gets very hard to clean and I have no desire to start re-scapeing. So it stays until my next tank. Considering all the mistakes I could have made, that was probably pretty minor :)
