So this week is my one year mark.
It has been noticeable for some successes and some failures.
Biggest success? Zoas, they have grown from small frags into full colonies.
The worse failure? it was attributable to increase in alk consumption due to coralline and me being away on vacation. Lost many corals, but all my fish are fine.
Halfway through the year I got an ich scare. But I have to say after using the polyplab medic it has been either eradicated or completely managed. Haven’t seen a single white spot since then, so for now, claiming victory on that one.
All in all, I believe more successes than failures and I am pretty happy with my tank so far and still feel addicted to this. (although now I need way more corals. And more fish. And many new larger tanks ).
I couldn’t have made it this far without the help of R2R and the endless pages of information and advice I have found here, so thank you everybody. (Special thanks to @NY_Caveman for following my build thread )
Below are some pictures at my 1 year mark. Please, feel free to criticize, comment, recommend anything and also tell me anything I should know for year 2.
