Hi All,
I am a little behind with putting this up but figured it would be worth sharing. I started the tank on May 10th 2019 and it's coming up on 5 months so. I had taken off almost 4 years after breaking down my 125gal full reef after I moved back to Boston. I have been in the hobby since 2001 and it is amazing to see how much has changed. Here is a list of what I have going on to date. I have found it easiest to screenshot my pics to post and have included timestamps for tracking purposes.
My cycle was extremely fast with the use of Instant Ocean Bio-Spira in combo with live sand/rock. Once I added the the Bio-Spira I also added some livestock in order to "feed" the bacteria and my impatience! LOL
AND lots of help from Julius my SV cat
