Great looking tank! What do you think your key to your reef's success has been?
 
Thank you. I think the key to success is watching the corals they will tell you if they are unhappy and keeping a strict maintenance and testing routine. This system was started with 100% dry rock and was a struggle to get to stable. Also I think interceptor is a must for systems with sps it’s crazy how many dealers and local hobbiests have red/white bugs.
