Surprisingly it has been about 1 year and 1 month since this tank was filled with saltwater! Went through some hell and back the first several months but finally it has stabilized and looking the best I have ever had during years in the saltwater hobby! Now the goal is to have all parameters on point to grow coralline algae and start to be able to grow some SPS!
Enjoy some of the pics!

Wow found a pic of my old 75G reef setup from wayyy back then! 2009 to be exact! Oh how times have changed!

Great looking tank! Literally just read through whole thread. I am wanting to change my AIO set up into a sump set up soon.

Are you still running the single HD 26? Have you got acros started?

I have added the 2nd hydra 26HD about a 2 months ago. I have not started on SPS as im still afraid to do so LOL!

Although I have 2 colonies of pocilloporas that are doing very well and growing, im still iffy on starting on SPS...maybe due to losing so many every time I try.

Maybe do an ICP test one day to see if there is anything in the tank that are out of the ordinary

True. I’m adding either the aquatic life t5 hybrid or the reefbrite add on next week. Just depends what’s in stock at the lfs. But I’ve had some good luck with the single 26HD. But I think I could have much better results.

Also thinking about adding a LED bar for color pop...maybe an orphek or some reefbrites

Got bored and took some photos of some of the corals under blue lighting with @Orphek orange filter on my Samsung Note 10+. ENJOY!

anyone know what this one is called?

It is like a teal/mint short tentacled torch. LFS said it was from Australia...Any help with identification would be great!
