Custom Stacked 5-feet Tanks
Day 1 - 2023
Month 1 - 2023
Month 6 - 2023 (ugly phase)
Year 1 - 2024 (Eel has arrived)
Year 2 - 2025 (Japanese Dragons have arrived, with upgraded coral lights, but macroalgae infestation
)
Year 3 - 2026 (Found a good sized Polleni Grouper, and RBTA growing out nicely)
Year 3, Month 3 - Today (Queen Angel the latest addition with new Orphek 4 striplights)
As you can see, i have a pretty strong bioload, and you can see how i’ve added more and more rockwork over the years to try to accommodate more beneficial bacteria growth. The sump has also gone through tons of enhancements to handle the load and maintain water parameter consistency. Safe to say I can forget about corals, Fish for Life for me.
