Please post some photos you may have of your reef tanks progression over time. I will start this off. Looking forward to what transpires.

Ive struggled to keep corals… but I developed a love for morays! If that counts lol. My eels like no corals in the tank too so they dont get stung!

I lost many photos but found and early image of my reefer 300 that was posted here on R2R. Not exactly sure when this was shot. But tank was started February 2023

And a recent shot

My WB 330.7 started March 2024

Recent image. More into fish than coral in this tank.

Thank you, but not as impressive as you think Two things, already had a bunch of old live rock and 70% of the coral. I used Tampa Bay Live Rock and sand to help seed the new tank Bonus, I have a connection with a seller that has a very large garage full of beautiful coral and get mini colonies for less than people pay for 1 inch frags. I stick with the older strains that are proven, have been in captivity for years and are surplus in her inventory. Don't get me wrong, if I was buying the high end stuff that everyone is looking for I would be getting 1 inch frags at top dollar.

I’m happy with my progress, but gosh some of y’all just have a completely full tank in less than 6 months. Amazing!

Most recent shot.

1” frags at top dollar here unfortunately! But seriously my LFS is great. He has to keep the doors open. Prices are comparable to online.
I am excited to watch my 1” frags grow over time.
