Approaching the tank's 3 year anniversary and decided to post an update with some pictures. Only major changes since inception is the addition of a 30 gallon frag tanks and switched the Ai Hydra 52’s to kessil A360WE. All pics were taken with some version of iPhone, for more check out coralcavett on instagram

Thanks man! unfortunately Trinidad doesn't have any nice reefs as well as it being illegal to harvest anything from our waters. All frags were imported with landing prices being $100-$200 USD per frag due to shipping and permit costs.
