My 350 gallon 6 month old tank. Playing in saltwater for less than a year and enjoying every minute of it. Give me your thoughts.

Beautiful aquarium - love the torch garden!

Very well done for only 6 months. Did you transfer some of your corals from an old aquarium?
Got the tank used and it had a couple double headed torches but that’s it. Wife and I have been filling it with stuff since then.

Looks like you’re getting good growth from your corals.
I’ve been super happy with the growth. Have a red monti glued to the back glass. Was a small frag two months ago and is now 4 inches wide and shelving out nice. Zoa spreading like crazy. Most torches have gone from singles and doubles to 7-10 heads.

Got a couple pictures to show 2 month growth.

Looks great, what are you running underneath? Refugium? Doser?
I’ve got a full sump and refugium. I removed the filter socks and filled that bay with chaeto, oga and dragons breath. Second bay is skimmer, third bay is sand, live rock and sea lettuce and last carbon and matrix. Dosing quantum enhancers. No water change in 4 months and feed heavy.

Cool, I really like your natural approach.

Thanks. We have made a point of adversity in livestock. Ecosystem works if there is enough variety. So far been doing well without the quick fix chemicals.
