reefernanoman Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Trying to figure out if I just want to switch the tank to lps and softies only. Hmmmmm.. I tried going the other way (just SPS) but I always go back to mixed reef. Much more interesting like that. BTW, your tank is rebounding nicely. Quote Link to comment
Addinali Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thank you its been hard but everything is on a rebuild my credit is back up so we can finally get a house. We also just found out we are expecting our 3rd child! Thanks for your support also I finally took some pictures of the tank now that it is on the rebound. Heres the new guy.

Christopher Marks Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Glad to see you decided to stick with it and that your tank is bouncing back. How's everything settling in now? Have you decided on the SPS? Quote Link to comment
Addinali Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks Chris I have decided to keep the SPS I have in there but I have no plans on adding more. I want to stick with leathers,zoas, and Lps is the game plan now. But... the SPS bug could always bite me again at any point.

Addinali Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 It has been over a year since I posted.... but since I am going to be active everyday for the contest. I figured I would show that the tank is still up. It is not as bueatiful as it once was. It's about 2 years old now with a different set of fish and it's a simple soft coral Anemone tank now. 1 Quote Link to comment

But now it runs so smooth. 1 Quote Link to comment
