I never started a build thread when I got my tank going so why not start one now. The tank was started on September 17 2017, about 16 months ago with Dr Tim's fishless cycle, took about 8 days. I use BRS for my 2 part, Red Sea Coral Pro salt, Reef Roids, and FUEL.

There are too many corals to name them all off. It's a mix of softies, LPS, and SPS. SPS were added over the last 6-8 months with great growth so far. My tank is usually at 420 Cal, 8.9 Alk, 1350 Mag, 0.025-0.05 NO3, and -0.03 PO4 with salifert test kits.
