Check out the 3 year timeline pictures of my tank!

Had a hard drive crash which made me resort to my last backup of my documents (1 year old! Ugh!), but I was going through some pictures and thought this was pretty cool...

 

Tank started Dec 2005

Nice work, John. What light combo are you running in the 08 pic?

Thanks

Looks great, John ... quite a gap between the last two pictures - but I've noticed on several occasions (other people's tanks - I haven't been around long enough) that it seems like you take care of your tank for the first 18 months; and then they take off and create the beautiful aquascapes like you have 'all of a sudden'. I have one coral that is suddenly taking off like that. It's amazing how fast it changes, after 6 months of just sitting there with a bit of growth. If I can just get some of the others to do that, I'll have a 'worthy' tank in a year or so.

Awesome sir!!!

 

Excellent to see folks staying in ONE location long enough to see their rewards come to fruition!

CONGRATS!

Even more beautfiul than I expected it to be, I'm so glad you're sharing newer pictures. Seeing your tank makes me hopeful that, given time, our tank will look incredible too (and not just like a frag display tank).

 

Nice job!

John,

VERY nice growth and lights....boy that lighting configuration seems awfully familiar! We like it in our tank also!

Baaaah...That's nothing...

 

That's nothing like I've seen! What a great tank Johnny, congrats, what a great testament to your persistence, and patience. Someday I hope to have a reef worthy of such compliments.

 

Keep it up!!!

Did you add whole colonies in there or you just achieved the growth from frags?
