Beautiful reef!!

Thank you! We've had excellent growth this past year after last years crash. You cant even tell anymore haha

Unfortunately the seals are starting to go on this tank, being 15+ years old now its reaching the end of its life. We're dreading the teardown but excited for the big things coming next. The replacement will be 84×48×28 so we're hoping this one will be our forever tank haha

Currently have 2 acropora that are losing color. I cut some frags of them as back up just in case they bleach completely. Parameters are in normal ranges for the tank, so ill be sending out an icp to see if anything funky shows up. Didnt take any pictures but if anyones interested i can take some.

Some recent pictures of some others that are doing better then ever!

And the newest addition to the zoa collection

How often do you get to see 2 skimmers this size next to each other? After 8 years we have to replace our external reef octopus skimmer. The impeller magnet cracked in the varios pump and shorted the controller. At some point they changed the design and reversed the pump direction, and the old style was discontinued. Now we're unable to get a replacement pump and controller that spin in the same direction so we ended up having to get a whole new skimmer. We will be plumbing the new style pump onto the old skimmer once the new style venturi becomes available so it can be used later on but we wouldnt be able to get it for a few weeks.
