Looks awsome chris! I like the assortment of fish. Are those fresh out of the QT?
 
Thanks guys, and woohoo! is correct. All 5 fish that were in the QT went into the DT this weekend. It's so nice to see all that movement once again.
 
looks better now than when you had the meeting

Lots of changes since then. Broke down the tank once to move it and to plumb in the new sump, then another time to catch the remaining fish after the ich outbreak, 9 weeks fallow, and 4 weeks minimum of QTing all new fish....whew, it's wearing me out just typing it
 
Did all the corals start out as frags?

All but 2 of them. The green birdsnest was a mini colony, and has almost tripled in size. And the sunset montipora was a fairly large piece as well. But all the rest were frags from people in the club.
 
Nice job Chris. My best and first piece of advice to any new hobbyist is that a reef tank is grown, and not set up. this is a testament to that and first hand proof.
 
a reef tank is grown, and not set up.

Very true words. This summer will be two years on mine.. I just posted a years difference in photos of my tank. Its truly amazing. My last tank was setup for 10 years and you would swear it looked like 4 different systems.
