So I've been running my first saltwater mixed reef for now a little over a year....2 months over to be exact....and boy has it been filled with highs and lows....I've spent nearly all of my spare money and money I didnt have on corals and other things and I'd say it's fair to say 50 percent of the things I bought ended up dying....many mistakes were made but at this point I can say that of all the tanks I've had over the many years this one has been the most rewarding in terms of the resulting beauty
From this I eventually went to this within 4 months
At this point everything was going great but being greedy I ended up getting a leather coral that would end up destroying my livestock and setting me up for continuous disappointment for months to follow Every Lps starte dying and instead of swallowing my pride and getting rid of it I kept buying more and just kept losing...eventually I thought I would give up on lps and just do leathers....but that proved to not be rewarding....and at this point in was in the middle of a serious hair algae epidemic ...
