My tank is a 220 gallon reef that is 6 feet wide. It has been up and running for about 3 years. I tried starting this tank with dry rock and I could not keep SPS for about 2 years. I had a bad Dinoflagellate outbreak that took a solid 6 months to rid and finally at the 2 year mark I was able to keep some SPS. All of the SPS in my tank are around 1 year or less and the LPS is about 1 1/2 years or less.

I don’t yet have a filter so photos are so so. Here are a few of my favorites. I will have to play around to get some good sps shots but here are some lps (with a few sps) I am going to need either a larger tank or a second one soon as my elegance is outgrowing this.
