The under dog tank

[Mauireefer808]

man, has this little tank been through a lot this year!! It survived being in a hot apartment all summer with no AC or chiller, I had a light fall into the sump and almost lost EVERYTHING, had my rock work completely collapse and lost all my SPS.....I neglected it with my busy schedule (just did my first water change in almost 3 months)....but it's been rough from the start, I set this bad boy up on a tiiiight budget....bought this entire setup for 50 bucks, got a bunch of free dry rock, started it with tap water (don't have a ro/di unit) but after all of this, everything is so happy! Everything is THRIVING! Not just surviving, but actually thriving:) ..... anyway! Just wanted to share my story:)

The drama we go through when beginning, even experts have issue here and there. Our little piece of the reef. Awesome tank dude!!

Lol here's my reef tank, she's my 1st and currently 13 months old. First crash at 4 months, but now standing strong.
