First post on reef2reef, had been over on nanoreef but I havent been very active over there and I plan on any future tanks being larger than a nano so I figured I'd continue documenting this one on here. I started my first reef tank in march 2018 (10 gallon) and transferred that into an old 40 breeder I had when I moved in September 2018. Tank was running smooth until July when I was away on my honeymoon and we lost power. Came back to 3 dead fish, a bunch of bleached or completely dead corals, and an abundance of algae. Since then I've beaten back most of the algae, which I'm pretty sure was dinos, and have gotten most most of my corals that survived back to there original color. Going forward I am not looking at adding too much more into the tank, but rather work on getting the best possible growth out of the corals I do have.
