My favorite thing is that I met my original goal. To create a coral garden style reef, with most of my favorite species. Still would like a pachyseris and pectinia. But, room will not allow it at this time. Maybe some trimming will let me have them in the future.
Things to do differently....This is a standard 90 gal tank. I would have done a 125 or 150 with built in overflows. I also would not have used gravel on the bottom. I definitely prefer a sand bed. It makes the nitrate issues much better, and looks nicer.

I am really happy with this tank so far overall. I like that it is shaping up to look the way I pictured it. This tank still has a way to go to become what I really want, I think it will just take time to get there.
I don't like that I have had some major losses during the build and in the infancy of this tank. Goodbye to the sweet Cato Nem that went in and quickly died off and to the harem of black ice clowns who died in qt waiting for me to finish this tank.
What is that substrate??? Cocoa Puffs??!?!?!

Around 8 years. Survived hurricane sandy and a few other outages. Some of the corals have been there for all 8 yrs.out of curiosity, how long has that tank been setup??
Old pic but I love that I finally crossed the bridge of adding a sump to my biocube. It has the back chambers but it's really a pain maneuvering things in such a tight spot.
I dislike the size, 14 gal has made it really hard to keep SPS to which I'm addicted to. However I do have an 80 gal DBP rimless that will be setup in 2017
WOW!My favorite thing is that I met my original goal. To create a coral garden style reef, with most of my favorite species. Still would like a pachyseris and pectinia. But, room will not allow it at this time. Maybe some trimming will let me have them in the future.

Wow those colors are amazing! Nicely set up. So jealous right now.
My favorite thing about my tank is really the whole equipment setup. Being my second build I put hours upon hours of research and planning into this setup to ensure a successful reef. So far I have been happy with the results.
The one thing I would change is that I never setup my auto water change system. I hate lugging the buckets!
Even better...walked in to EFC today after work, and Bob had Pachyseris frags!! Woo Hoo!!WOW!
