The journey of my 55 reef

Looks good!! Feels great to get maintenance done huh? :)

Thanks! Is the maintenance ever done?


New corals and fish means new pics.

Thanks!! I was shocked at how quickly it opened up and attached to the rock. It was attached and opened within minutes of being placed in the tank.

Looking good Krista, I love the Elegance's! I had one in the past but it got HUGE..

Thanks!! The elegance is the main reason the rock is open in the center. The coral needs plenty of real estate.
Everything's looking really healthy Krista

Thanks! I still can't believe the difference in the corals since I removed the lemon peel and starry blenny.
