Gotta trim again soon. It’s a bonsai tank now to keep the peace.

My 180, about 5 years old. Spent the first 2 years learning what i was doing, still learning that's the great thing about this hobby. It actually sprung a leak around year 2. I broke it down to the glass panels, built new frames and totally re sealed it. Made it through our big 2020 earthquake so i guess its good to go! Until I need a bigger tank :)

Update 4 years later, system is still going strong. Has had it's up and downs as life goes on. The Green Pocillapora got deleted, it just got massive and spawned little colonies all over the tank. I got tired of constantly trimming it down
Looking at a tank upgrade to 300gal in the near future. The tangs are getting big and could use some more swimming room.
Kinda dreading the swap it's going to be quite an undertaking.

Here’s my latest shot of my decade old reef. Rough crash about 2 years ago was difficult to recover from but things are moving back in the right direction! Some of my corals that survived still bare some scars but finally we are growing nicely!

I built a new light rack/floating canopy this week. I added 3 Kessil AP9X's to my existing 4 Red Sea Reefled 160S so I had to increase the canopy length and width. I'm liking the additional full spectrum lighting the Kessils provide.

whats your average par at sps?
Most of the racks range at 300-400 on the Parwise. So around 380-500 on an apogee.

Peak light for 6 hours a day. 2 hour lower light on both ends of that.
