Experienced reefers who are past their first tank - let's see what your new tank started like at month 1-3!!

This is about 5-6 months in (circa 2021).

Same tank about 6-8 months later (circa 2022).

Nice!! Great start and it will fill in nicely!! The low bottom liverock setup is awesome and adds a lot of space also.

Thanks. It does yield a lot of "swim space", and tends to discourage jumping (though not 100%).

Month one.

I wouldn't even count the start date until something is added in like sand/rock - but still a lovely setup start!

Start date is the day salt is added and return pump and heaters are turned on it's started

That is like, your opinion man (BIG Lebowski haha).

Add all the water, salt, and flow you want. The rock and sand is the real nuts and bolts!
Pumped to see your start though. Waiting for some nice dead rock?

No dead rock, no sand, adding it onto an existing system.
