So looking back at some of my old treads I realized that my first ever reef tank is only a couple of months away from the one year mark.

this project started off as a 20 gallon nano tank. Then I upgraded it to a 29. Then a crack formed in the back and I upgraded again to a 60 cube.
After emergency setup and cycling the first inhabitants were my pair of davinci clownfish, a high-fin red bar goby, and a few corals from the previous iteration.

now a days it has many more inhabitants including a Midas blenny, a blue mandarin, a royal gramma, and a coral beauty, plus probably way too many corals of different varieties.

So what do you guys think?
 
That you should invest in an algae scraper. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
Seriously though, your fish all look really healthy.
Your absolutely right. My magnet scraper doesn’t seem to have the pressure to get some of the algae on the glass
 
I wish I had a better camera to take pictures of it with. But for some reason despite how much money this tank cost I can’t seem to convince myself to get a proper camera and macro lense.
 
Looks nice, really like the scape makes it seem bigger then nano size.
