Our tank is one year old

jimeluiz · 08-21-2004, 12:45 PM

Well we made it. One year of reefkeeping

Four pages of weekly log notes, only a scant few lost critters, no mechanical problems (knock wood), and a successful one month vacation. Not bad. Actually, better than I had anticipated.

Special thanks to you all for your daily advise and encouragement.

Looking very nice...Isn't it amazing how much difference a little time makes?

How's the wandering rose doing?

Looks wonderful. It will only get better as time goes by.
Do you have any pictures of the red brain/scolymia type coral near the bottom? Looks very nice.

Speaking of which, when are we gonna see pics of your tank up & running? Surely you're not going to let a little thing like a major heart attack stop ya? (sez the guy getting out because of back injuries)

Hopefully, you will find someone local to you who can come over and help you get the tank up & running.

nice job!!

jimeluiz · 08-21-2004, 05:54 PM

Thanks everybody. We're getting the hang of this - getting used to not knowing everything and learning loads about the virtues of patience.

BoomerD - The wandering, traumatized rose split. I guess it was easier to just split apart than to try and pull back together. So now we have three. One big one, one medium size and one small.

Poor thing - such a drama. But the two little ones look great and are nearly back to their normal round and fully extended selves.

Just like magic.

Congrats . . . . it's really rewarding isn't it when a tank is mature and looking healthy. And the best thing is, they just keep looking better and better and better
