My 100 gallon IM EXT 100 tank reached its 3 year milestone today. I don’t know how some of you have instant tanks in under a year but this has been a slow but steady progress.

The jump from two years to three years is crazy!

That was due to adding more lights. Two Kessil A360x pucks was not enough to light up this tank despite the claim they can do 24" X 24". When I doubled them to 4 over the tank most of the shading went away and the coral growth took off.
 
Looks incredible! Makes me a little jealous... :grimacing-face: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
