Mariner 100- 6 month update!

[ryanc1025]

Hello everyone, I started on this journey about 6 months ago. I was looking into starting a smaller tank but came across this tank at one of my LFS's prior to the official release of the mariner. Ended up snagging it that day and dove head first into the hobby. I wanted to post some day 1 versus now pictures to show the progress. My set up is pretty simple for now, but plan on adding later as the corals continue to thrive (minus a few pieces I'm trying to rehab from my initial impatient approach).

Almost 1 year Tank update-

Had a recent ich outbreak so I'm going fallow and decided to do a reset. I lost my white tail bristle tooth, purple dottyback and green mandarin. I have the rest in QT and they appear to be doing good.

Re-scaped the tank and finally taking care of the red planaria issue. Did the first flat worm exit treatment today, will have to repeat at least 2 or 3 times but all in all I'm fairly happy with how things look. Need to finish clean up and placement of some corals.

Aw man sorry to hear that! New scape looks great though!
