I started this tank about a year ago with previous experience with a 40gal bdr and standard 90gal. I went with a smaller tank for the challenge of balance and small apartment restrictions. Currently the tank is on cruise control and finally dialed in. Next challenge is to add automated dosing to the mix since the coral frags are growing and demanding more than what my weekly water changes can handle.

 

I documented a lot of my tanks progression on my local reef club's site, but thought it would be a better fit for the fine folks here at NR due to its size. So I guess enough of the babbling and on to the tank stuff :)
