Even with neglect and cyano your reef is still 100 times better than mine!

So we are coming up on 7 years for the tank. I feel guilty. SUPER GUILTY. I have not been doing my part keeping up this thread. So, I just went and snapped these quick pics - not the greatest quality - so we could get the conversation restarted! I am keeping it real. This is how the tank looks right now. I have not completed my stand. My wife is super understanding. I have cyano - have had it for a long time - don't really care as everything else is doing great. Today is just about a year since I completely trimmed back the tank - I will have to go dig up those pics so we can do a before and after.

Thanks all for following my journey!

Tank and coerals look awesome @Terence . My tank is now full of GHA, but hey that's ok, we know that can be taken care of as and when I have some time to keep up with the chores. But the coral health looks awesome and that's more important I feel.
thank you for keeping us posted, love seeing the growth and progression of the tank

I've missed following your tank. Thanks for the update. Still beautiful.

Also glad to see someone else who hasn't had time to get around to finishing some things.

Had to reload the CO2 today. I go through a 20lb bottle about every 5-6 months. $25 each for exchange.

Four SKY for over a year now. Before that the CoralCare.

I still have two of the Reef Brite actinic up in there that I have for when I want to look at things in a "mega-blue" way. Not necessary, but they were there from when I had the CoralCare on there - which definitely needed them.
