Pretty cool!
It would be awesome to put dates with each picture as it will give to a lot members a understanding that this will not happen overnight.
Awesome progress Bro.

My IM Fusion 30L finally coming around after some rescaping

I am still a bit of a newbie to the hobby (if you consider about two years in a newbie) but I can't say enough how much I have enjoyed it and how much I love having my own little piece of the ocean in my home. I am sure everyone here can share the experience of having a less than great day at work or whatever the case may be and then getting home and sitting in front of the reef for hours, as I often do, just taking it in and relaxing. For as stressful as the hobby can be to get started sometimes it can also be an even more powerful stress reliever. Any-who, here are a few shots of where I have been to where I am now. I think i have done alright for a first-timer. :bigsmile:

This is the very beginning when I started with an 8-gallon cube about two years ago.

This is where the 8-gallon cube had grown out to by February of 2014. Clearly things were in need of more space and needed an upgrade.

This is February of 2014 immediately after transferring everything from the 8-gallon cube to a 20L. The only livestock in there is what was in the 8-gallon cube.

And here is the 20L as of the last week of October 2014. I am soooo happy with the progress. Things continue to grow and get better day by day. Livestock in the tank is:
-Fish-
-Paired Ocellairs Clowns
-Three Green Chromis
-Fiji Blue Devil Damsel
-Neon Arabian Dottyback
-Lawnmower Blenny
-Green Mandarin Dragonette

-Corals (pictured)-
-LPS-
-Frogspawn
-Red Acans,
-Candy Cane
-Red and Mint Green Blastomussa Wellsi
-Purple and Green Favia
-SPS-
-Neon Green Stylophora
-Pink Birds Nest
-Forest Fire Montipora Digitata
-Tri-color Valida (small frag right now)
-Red Plant
-Purple Haze Montipora
-Jedi Mind Trick
-Softies-
-Kenya Trees
-GSP
-Green Button Polyps
-Golden Colony Polyps
-Fire and Ice Zoas
-Eagle Eye Zoas
-Candy Apple Zoas
-Fuzzy Green Mushrooms
-Orange and Purple Ricordea
-Inverts-
-Green Bubble Tip Anemone
-Two Emerald Crabs
-too many hermits and snails to mention
-Brittle Star
-Two Peppermint Shrimp

I have also added since this photo was taken:
-Sun Coral
-Jason Fox Anti-venom
-Bright Green Leptoseris
-Purple Monti Cap

Can't wait to progress even more and see where things take me! :bigsmile: Definitely want to get into more Acros and SPS.

My 29 gallon build

Okay, so I started about six months ago with a piece of live rock and a Coral Banded Shrimp. About two weeks later, I ordered some live rock which took about six weeks to cure in tank (Mr. Shrimp did not survive). I began adding coral and a cleaning crew about three months in. It houses the corals you see, the three original cycle damsels simply because I can't catch them and two Engineer Gobies to sift sand (I see now why they got that name... lol). There's about a dozen mixed hermits, some Cerith, Astraea and other snails, a baby Brittle Star and a Mini Maxi Anemone who both hitchhiked their way in. The two filter pumps exhaust at the surface and behind the rockwork providing oxygen exchange and minimizing dead spots. And, I dose a two-part solution daily. Lighting consists of two Zoomed 18" LEDs. At first I ran one all blue and blue/white in the front one about 10 hours a day but about three weeks ago I began cutting the white light time to no more than five hours and I've noticed a remarkable growth spurt.
