Welcome to my nano thread!
So this tank began almost 2 years ago as an Innovative Marine 10 gallon tank...which was transferred to a 20 gallon... which has now become a Red Sea Reefer Nano (The tank that I should have just bought in the first place). It has been through a crash, multiple Dinoflagellate & GHA outbreaks, and coral losses to the point of me wanting to tear it all down and get rid of it - But I am not giving up on this tank.
