Hi everyone!

Lately I have been mesmerized by what simplicity and patience has in this hobby.i have documented the start of this journey from the beginning until now. I have a 32 gal biocube that has been running for 5 years. I am just so proud of what it has become. I use a simple filter upgrade with a bag of chemi pure and polishing pads and weekly water changes and Steve’s leds. I have not tested the water in so long. I can’t even remember the last time. I have come to learn over the five years the behavior of my fish and corals. Most everything in here was originally a tiny frag and has created beautiful colonies. Most are my original fish. Everything has lasted through the good the bad and the ugly. I am just so proud of the growth and community this little ecosystem has become. My stock list is
Duncan colony
🪸 Acan colony
🪸 Favia colony
🪸 Platygyra colony
🪸 Candy Cane coral
🪸 Zoanthids
🪸 Montipora
🪸 Pink Polyp Stylocoeniella (behind the Montipora, established ~3 years)
🪸 Green Star Polyps (back wall)
🪸 Xenia
🪸 Anthelia
🪸 Condylactis anemone

My livestock list is
🐠 Clownfish
🐠 Pointdexter the possum wrasse
🐠 Lawnmower blenny
🦀 Emerald crab
🦀 Arrow crab
🦐 Pistol shrimp
⭐ Serpent stars
🐌 Turbo and Nassarius snails
🦀 Hermits
🦔 Urchin
I like to to see success stories as I know we as reefers take pride in our accomplishments within this hobby. Can’t wait to see other pics! Please post some of your tanks new and old!
