I've started this thread a bit late in my build. I think it is in part because of what motivated this build in the first place. I had a 45G bow front tank for several years. It survived two house moves, but as a consequence I had very simple setup with easy corals and fish. Its almost hard for me to look at these photos because after refinishing floors on the other side of the house, the tank immediately crashed. I lost everything except a toad stool coral and a kenya tree coral.
After the tank crashed, I was able to restart it but I was clearly demoralized. The tank showed it.
I decided to build a new tank to drop the bad memories of the prior tank. That was in Sept. 2017.
The next tank was a restart using everything I had learned over the several years of maintaining and moving this tank.
Here is where I'm at today (15months later) --- I'll do my best to restate the past year.
