As we are past mid-year , what can you say is the best thing that has happened with your tank so far?
Do you have any goals or desires for your tank before year end?

For myself, its been upgrades such as Hydros addition and improved water movement
 
I removed the sand from my sps display. It took about 8 months, but I wasn’t in a hurry. The tank didn’t flinch. Moving forward is just maintenance. The tank is complete and mature. I have a new frag tank cycling, and will have three total when it’s done. One for softies, lps, and sps.
 
The best thing that has happened to my tank is that my anemone is flourishing in it.
 
Two fold for me

1. Setting up my AWC system at the beginning of the year to stabilize nutrients a bit more and implementing T5 hybrid lighting. I started seeing a big improvement about 3-4 months in.

2. The true best thing is that I had minimal issues with a 500 mile move of my 210g system in May/June. Now that the tank is in it's "forever home" I can focus on stabilizing parameters (small nutrient spike from move) and watching the system continue to mature.
 
Since I set up my tank in the beggining of the year, my biggest accomplishment is everything lol. But things are starting to mature and stabilize, so I am happy about that.
