Reef_in_Denver's SPS Dominant Reefer 250

[Reef_in_Denver]

Hey All. It's time I finally document the beginning of this journey. This is my 2nd reefing experience and I'm going full SPS from the start this time around. In the first tank I would say I had a Xenia dominant 75 gallon. :rolleyes:. It was an important experience though to understand what I did and didn't want to keep and to begin the learning experience in this trying hobby.

Now a quick bit about the setup.

woah...from my phone that photo looks way more normal.......and less wonked out. On my computer they look hyper edited. Let me see if I can figure out what happened there.

I've just been using the default app on my phone to adjust brightness etc. but it seems like that may not be working out best. Does anyone have recommendations on the best apps/programs to edit?

Found an album of my previous 75 gallon right before tearing it down to move. This was my first attempt referenced previously in the initial post.

There are a few of us stick heads on the Front Range with higher end acropora. When those grow up, hit me if you want you want to trade.
