My 3 ft reef just slightly over one month old.

I am still scared of putting in expensive corals.

The SPS were given by LFS as they are all browned out.

Some of them are starting to show their previous color as the deep green/brown stag turning blue.

I used Bio Sphere, Algone and RowaPhos to keep nitrogen cycle and nutrients in check.

An auto top up is hooked up with a Deltec Kalk stirrer to maintain water stability.

Coral is supplemented with amino acid and marine snow.

Is this your first tank or are you actually a very experienced reefer? My first tank is a far cry from yours. The colors are so vibrant in your tank, nicely selected corals :)

Actually I was in this hobby for 12 years. I took a break last 2 years and decided to build a new tank for my new place. :D I am glad I did.
