That's awesome!! I remember those days with my daughter well! She was a bit bigger, I didn't get to see her in person until she was 4 months old. Funny how our "toys" go to the wayside for the little ones. Good thing is I finally talked my wife into letting me start my tank back up because Katie (daughter) wanted little Nemos...[emoji23]
Thank you! We miss our reef tank but family comes first. We have a plan in the works though.

Thank you! Shes doing great, she loves her brother. It's really adorable to watch her interact.

When he grows up a little maybe they will school. At least shoal.

As I said before...

László Polgár is a renown developmental psychologist who theorized that children taught a skill before the age of 4 will be savants in the field. To prove this theory he taught both his daughters chess at the age of 1 years old.. Both his daughters are arguably, today, the two best female chess champions to ever grace the earth. By a staggering margin.

So they will be biologists with a specialty in genetic sequencing who breed us micro sailfish for reef tanks. I want my micro sailfish dang it !

Figured it's time to start a build thread. My wife got the tank as a Christmas present back in 2012. It was an upgrade from a 55 gallon. At that time we had the 125 going and a biocube for our octopus. The current tank is a 75 gallon drilled tank by deep blue. I don't have any pics of when we first set it up due to pics not transferring from older generation phones. It's cool to see the tank on 3reef with all the frags that are colonies now. The tank has had its ups and downs of course and survived 3 moves. Started with sand and now it's bare bottom. Been using coral pro for salt since the tank has been set up.

Equipment list includes;
20 gallon long sump
Current eflux 1900gph return pump
SCA 303 skimmer
Ice cap 3k gyre
Reef octopus bio pellet reactor with reef interests NP reducing bio pellets
Aqua chill aquarium chiller
Current 48" Halide/T5 fixture with Hamilton 150watt DE 20k and ATI blue plus bulbs.

Fish include a purple tang, green/blue chromis, pair of mandarins which all those started from the beginning. We recently moved a blacker ice clownfish from my mom's nano due to the lightning maroon getting to mean.

Corals range from acropora, montipora, chalices, mushrooms, zoas and palys.

Hey, any update on setting up a new build? Believe your in Brevard along with fish finder, and litenyuap.
We are. We've decided on the red sea reefer 750xxl but it will take time to execute. Gonna be super patient with this one.
