    Well, 1 year ago this month, my wife and I decided we were going to resurrect my 120 gallon tank. The tank had been running for 1.5 years with fresh water, a bunch of fresh water algae and some rock with no life in it at all. (other than the algae) After draining, replacing sand, scrubbing rock and completely rebuilding here is what we have. I am very proud of this tank.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looks beautiful and everything is thriving. How do you like the Flame Hawk fish?

    I see the Efflo is really plating out nicely.

    As Matt posted you should be very proud.

    My flame hawk is a model citizen. The only time I have ever seen him mess with anything is when I added a couple of peppermint shrimp. He went after them while dropping to the bottom of the tank but has not messed with them since. My efflo is certainly my favorite piece, although I'm still not sure whether it's an efflo or solitaryensis. Either way, the growth has been remarkable.

    Matt, thank you so much. I certainly am proud of this tank and have thoroughly enjoyed what it has brought to me.

    It sure does not seem like a year has gone by.

    No clowns?

    Not reefbreeder, they are evergrow. Same as reefbreeders with different labels. I still don't have any clowns. I'm thinking I want to add a GSM but haven't gotten around to it. My anemone definitely needs something to bug it. If I add one, it will be GSM. I do agree BTW, it doesn't seem anything like a year. It has flown by.

    wow Daniel, it's hard to believe it's been a year that you popped back in to the forum :) Your tank is absolutely amazing. I am a bit jealous but that's ok :)
