28 jbj, corals as old

Really cool tank! Love the simple approach. I’m right there with you on the simple tanks.
i wish there were more basic nanos here, love the gadgets, but i think too many people rely on them to grow corals they forget the personal aspect of the care for them
 
Just joined this forum...been on Reef Central for over 15 years, and just found out about this site. I'm in the process of getting back into the hobby after about a 10 year break, and have a 29 biocube.

That frogspawn is beautiful. Do you have any fish in this tank?

Great job!

no fish, there are 2 peppermint shrimp, no fish means no waste, these corals are my main focus with this tank, 20+ years in captivity, seeing how long i can keep em

After removing about 90 heads of frogspawn, there is finally some room for my leather, time to let grow back out again.
