New here wanted to go ahead and introduce myself and my tank. I live in South Florida I’ve had a saltwater aquarium for about 15 years it was a 94gal corner tank. It was used when I got it and it lasted 15 years and then it unfortunately sprung a leak. So it was time for a full upgrade. Upgraded to a Red Sea Reefer XL 525. It’s been 2 months since the leak happened and the new tank has been up. The only things that came from the old tank to the new tank was the live rock, 4 fish (Purple Tang, Flame Angel, Pajama Cardinal and a Mono Fish). Coral wise the tank didn’t have much was mostly dominated by a Cat Eye Bubble that has been with me since I first got the tank set up 15 years ago a couple leathers, some red mushrooms and a branching hammer that wasn’t doing too good already before the move. Thankfully everything survived the move and is doing great. I have filled it with plenty more corals since the move as well and everything is growing and doing great! Here’s some pictures of the new setup I’ll try and find some pictures of the old tank and post them.

Nice corals. How do you like your Red Sea?
I love it! The old tank was very difficult to get into the sump and do any kind of work or routine maintenance down there since it was a corner unit so this has been a breeze compared to that!
 
Got a some new additions today.
1 Six Line Wrasse
1 Female Squampini
1 Elegance Coral

Fish were difficult to photograph but corals are easy
