So as my tank has just turned one, I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to the changing of tanks and how they mature over the years. I would love it if everyone was to join in, even if your tank is only a few months old!!
I would love to run the thread like this, everyone puts up a couple (or more) shots of their tanks being a first full tank shot with rock (sand optional) and then a current tank shot and if you want to a couple in between if you have them and feel like it :)

P.S you're only allowed to post if FTS's are included!! ;) Dates and or final/current tank ages would be awesome too :)

I'll get the ball rolling:
The tank just filled with fresh LR:


Sand and rock and post cycle:


Lights were finally added:


And today, crappy photo and reflections but it's today's :) (my clam is closed because someone wanted to be feed and they use her to get my attention!!):

It looks like you tried to do have a mixed tank early on and then ended up in a dominate softie tank. I bet you have lots of movement in your tank!

true Oxy - not great success with sps corals - but my chalices, acans, duncans, brains, torch, ric garden, zoas & candy canes thriving - LPS (Large Polyp Stony) and Softies are my favorites - great colors & I like wavie/flowie corals :dance: so I have dedicated the tank to lps & soft corals and my lovely fish who really like them too

Lets see some more FTS (Full Tank Shot) Progression pics

Awesome work everyone!! I'm loving these progression shots! :D Greg and Di, I'm expecting your tanks to come next!! LOL
Nick, you've come an awesomely long way in 6 months! And Saltfan your tank is looking grouse after a year :)

Keep the shots rolling people!! It doesn't matter how old or young your tank is, weeks to decades, we want to see those progression shots!!
