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.

Do you have more photos of your tank?
Many, The pic posted is in the past and was featured on reefbuilders. Far to much to get into and lots of history. The whole system was rebuilt Dec/Jan 2026 and documented including a complete reseal all new equipment..

Some corals I keep fraggin and glueing elsewhere in the tank. Others had to move around few times to get a good spot.
