Eight months.

This my father-in-laws tank I inherited back in March when he passed far to young at 69.

Has gone from a 100plus nitrate bomb to an almost hair free tank in about 6 months.

Countless water changes
Lighting change
New clean up crew
Tank parameters are still a little off but close enough to keep some softy’s and a couple LPS

Upgrade to power heads is next.

Beautiful reef! Do you have a tank thread on here? I'd love to follow along!

To be fair, 1/3 of the corals came from my other tank.

My tank has been up over 3 years and these corals for about 3 years and obviously from the picture their growth has been exploding. I can barely keep up with the fragging and have begun to contemplate upgrading.
