Thank you

Most of the original corals are still in there and had grown from fingernail sized frags to decent sized colonies (I have to prune them every once in a while). I have given away a bunch of Ricordia 'shroom clones over the years, but kept the original stock. The ones that had to be removed completely were a Red Planet Acro that was hyper aggressive and expanded too much and a few LPS that couldn't play nice in such a small tank (Scollys, Lobos).

Here's an example:

I love this tank! I would be so happy to have a little gem like this. I am about to start up a fluval spec V.

We can thank Photobucket for the blocking of the earlier photos (they want $399/year to reinstate 3rd party hosting) and since they own the photos on their site...it's 'pay up or get out'

However, I found a few of the oldie pics that basically show the progression over the many years (using a different photo hosting site).
