Hey every one just thought id share some about my tank and make a location for futer updates and such.
I started this hobby with a 55g as most of us do and i quickly ran out of room and discovered my true calling, SPS corals.
I had heard they where a challenge but i pride myself on taking on any challenge i see worth in. the colors and growth patterns where mesmerizing and i had gotten into this hobby after growing bonsai trees for 3 years ( feel free to ask questions im a wizz at it). i missed the branching forms from my other hobby and went from having a green thumb to a wet one. i started my research and im just now through some trial and error getting to fully understand the mechanics of it all. it took a little while but i managed not to kill every thing i own (though i did try very hard sometimes haha) its still got to mature alot but its on its way to greatness.

every thing is going well and Ive finally gotten the sand bed out! i have also started dosing vodka Sunday and the water already looks clearer! sadly one of my cheap o ballasts craped out on me and i only am running 2 bulbs for supplementation. i think im going to start to make these monthly updates a regular thing until i leave. but heres the pictures !!
