Tank looks great, I looked at the history of the tank but I'm wondering when it was initially started?

I am wondering how long the tank was set up before your first picture?

That's beautiful! I love all the corals! Would you mind sharing which you'd recommend if you were to do it all again? (and approximately how much you spent on Corals) Thank you!

i would have gotten my wave maker way sooner, created more flow in the tank and more corals started to open up and grow faster. also i wish i left it alone more, i would always mess with coral placements and at the end it doesnt really matter that much
