    I know I don't post here much these days, but I just wanted to stop in and say thanks to all of you who were a great help in our success with this aquarium. It is exactly one year old this month, and I'll have to say that what we have now was well worth the wait! Nothing really exotic in there, and you can notice that I love star polyps! It has pretty much developed into a relatively maintenance free natural eco system. Still the same three Damsels that were left after cycling, but no other fish. I prune the macros about once a month, and do a 25 gal water change every 6 to 8 weeks, but that's it. I found that once I quit screwing with it so much, things just took off on their own. Thanks again 3 Reef, you guys rock!

    Great looking tank. Yep its more about time and simplicity and just keeping your hands the hell out of one.. People try to fix the unbroken to often or if its not broken lets just complicate it a bit :) Keep us posted.. Now you are ready for some nicer stuff. A few tangs will control the algae..

    Looks great...

    You are at the real take-off point now. You will be amazed at how fast things start growing and spreading.

    Thanks! Actually, though, I really don't want any "nicer stuff". If I screw with it now, things will probably take a turn for the worse (just my luck LOL!)
    No Tangs for me, matter of fact, there are no plans for any more fish in this tank at all. Everything pretty much stays in check. No hair micro algae problems, and the caulerpa, well I just prune it every month or so.

    Man tangs will help maintain the tank but that is your decision. I love having them in my tank, they earn their keep.

    Congrats and happy birthday to your tank. Isn't it great once you get the tank to where you want it and your hard earned dollar and work pays off!!!!
    The enjoyment, excitement, sense of accomplishment and investment is such a rush and places you on a adrenaline high in my opinion!
    Best of luck now and in the future with the tank...
