History

I've been in the hobby 10 years, this tank is 4.5 years old. I had a total coral crash 2.5 years ago from a plumbing mishap, so what you see is 2.5 years of growth from tiny little 1/2" frags. I got all my corals from fellow reefers and most of them come from our yearly swap in Lansing (each January). Yes I have a table this year, and will be selling again. I've been around on MR and RC for years and this seems to be the new place to be. I've been a bit drained by the hobby since I got married... kinda sapped all my finances for impulse builds. I did recently build a new LED prototype though as shown. I started with FOWLR, then into a small nano tank with softies and power compact like most. I consider myself an expert when it comes to system desgin, but only below average when it comes to fish/coral nomenclature. I have tried just about everything and have came full circle to the basics.

Water Quality, Lighting, Flow. All must be correct in that order or you will grow nothing colorful.
