November 3 2021. I had done nothing more than water changes and split the hammerhead colony up from the 2018 pics to these. No dosing, skimming, filtering literally only topped the tank off manually and fed fish once a week.

Not sure but pics aren't showing up on the thread for me, going to try and post most recent anyway.

I currently have 16 different corals, 8 are new frags. Not the best pics but they will be fine for growth references.

After purchasing some live rock and adding it all at once like a newb ‍ I had a dinoflagellates outbreak in which I seem to have beat back, time will tell. He is current pic.

New addition. I have been using ro water from local markets for the last 15 years. Installed a cheap but effective ro/di. Tested the tds on the local ro at 7ppm and the new setup at 0ppm. This is a temporary setup to get some top off water but I'm happy with it.

Finally going to start using a sump and it showed up today, probably be a few weeks before it's up and running. I need to make a stand and do some drilling on the dt.
