Well, my first reef tank about three months in. For now I've added the last piece of coral now I wait and see how it does. So far so good.

Thanks for the hospitality guys. The first three months haven't been perfect.I cant seem to keep acans alive but haven't lost anything else my duncans have been growing like weeds and I've also noticed slight growth in the birds nest in just under a week.
 
Whatever you do, do NOT rush ;)
Agreed, that's why I'm on pause for adding anything. I'm super impulsive and it's hard not ordering more but I figured I'd better wait and see how stuff goes. I'd hate to lose everything especially if I started buying more expensive corals
 
Full tank shot as of today.

Looks like things are coming along nicely. I didn’t see, any fish besides the clowns? Frags look good, have they been growing since last update or more recently added.

Keep updating, soon the tank will be packed

I also have a Sailfin tang, lawnmower blenny, two damsels, coral banded shrimp and a neon dottyback, I would never get another dottyback though, kind of a bully. I've had mixed results as far as growth. I have a mystics sunset montipora taking off but then I've had pink diamond zoas that have been the same 2 polyps since the beginning .
