Hi everyone! I never started a build thread here on R2R but I wanted a place to document my tank and SPS collection. A little background on the tank: Was first filled early 2016, had some ups and downs the next couple years until eventually I had a tank crash in Mid 2018. Wasn't sure on the exact reason for the crash, assuming inconsistency, but let's get to the good stuff and talk about the progress since then.

In wall Tank: Miracles 75" x 30 x 27 (253 Gallons Exactly)
Sump: 48" x 30"
Lighting: 5 Radion G4 pros
Frag Tank: 36 Gallon, plumbed into the sump, Reefbreeders Photon 32-V2+

Below are pictures from 2016 when the tank was first put in

Here is what the left side of the tank looks like in March 2019 after restocking basically all of my coral. I've been restocking and slowly adding more corals since October 2018.

I bought a variety from WWC, TSA, BC and many others.

That last blue one looks like my TGC Blue Planet. Does it have orange-Ish polyps?


It does have orange polyps. However it’s a pretty solid blue without the green like the blue planet.

But that seems to be the closest match I’ve seen thus far. Thanks! We’ll have to wait and see what it turns into
