72/100 - some things I’m extremely happy with, a few things I’m just ok with.

40b with a 40b sump/frag tank. The sump above the display so it’s basically a giant hob filter.

Not sure if there was supposed to be this cool 5-star rating system that would add all these up? But I'm off work today, bored, and cruisin' R2R looking for some reef knowledge and came across this. Soooo, at the risk of overworking/overthinking this post, here are my marks:

• The overall look of your tank? 4
• 1 - 5 - The ease of maintenance for your tank? 3
• 1 - 5 - The coral selection you have in your tank? 4
• 1 - 5 - The growth rate of your corals? 3
• 1 - 5 - The fish selection you have in your tank? 2 (but we had a LOT of fish death 2 months ago and haven't replaced any.. prior to the deaths, we loved them and it would be a 4.
• 1 - 5 - The cleanup crew in your tank? 3
• 1 - 5 - The substrate or lack of substrate in your tank? 3
• 1 - 5 - The algae control in your tank? 4
• 1 - 5 - The aquascape in your tank? 3 * I love it, but have learned and likely would do it differently
• 1 - 5 - The overall equipment you have chosen for your tank? 4
• 1 - 5 - The lighting of your tank? 3
• 1 - 5 - The flow in your tank? 3
• 1 - 5 - The filtration of your tank? 4
• 1 - 5 - The automation/control of your tank? 1
• 1 - 5 - The wire management of your tank? 3
• 1 - 5 - The brand of aquarium you have? 2
• 1 - 5 - The material your tank is made from? 3 * I will buy better glass next time
• 1 - 5 - The quality of your tank stand? 3
• 1 - 5 - The location of your tank? 4
• 1 - 5 - The overall cost of your system? 4 * I spent money. I didn't mind buying quality when I thought it would work better.

I think that makes my score 67/100. Which sounds horrible right? Like a D+ if we were in school. But that's because as I learn, I can see where anything can get better and/or be done differently. But in sincerity we LOVE our tank. I feel lucky to have this as a hobby and to afford what we have placed in our tank. When we need something for it, we can get it. We are blessed.

Overall I think this is a fair assessment on how I feel about my tank. Its a small and limited biocube and my first set up. There are few things that I would change if I were to do it again. But overall it’s been successful and I am very proud of it.

93 accurate expresses how much I love this tank and system. It is my 3rd tank in 20 years and I was able to know what I wanted and then implement that. It's a KISS (keep it simple stupid) tank which suits me.

57, but that's to be expected having just started out in the hobby with a limited budget. I've not yet gotten all the really neat stuff yet. Slowly building up on it though!

Score of 92. Only one psammorca with some line disease. Corals, nems, Fish,Clean up crew all great. Tank is forty years old on same stand. I’m second owner. Love the Wills Amazon light boxes. One regret. In the mancave I could have left it far enough into the room to be able to really see the backside where dozens of frags have disappeared into the night knocked off by turbos or dropped while messing around never to be seen again

I give mine a 100, the only problems with my tank are me! I’ve been VERY happy with my setup for 4 years now, there’s only been very minor changes to how it operates during that time.

(Reason why it looks so rough at the moment is because dinoflagellates crashed all my microfauna and most of the cleanup crew and sand. I had to do a complete system takedown and flush the rock and chuck the sand and 100% of the water. The sand was filled with dead bristle worms, limpets, chitons, ugh it had to go. Good thing is my sexy shrimp made it through, along with a couple of hermits and my nassarius and anemone crab. Corals are annoyed but fine.)
