75g Tank Update - 3 years later

[ecooper]

Hi, all.
I haven't posted for quite a while but it's now winter break (off for a while and no more grading!), so I decided to take some pictures and show what my tank looks like after about 5 years. I haven't posted pictures of this since Jan 08 (here's the old thread: https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/forum/thread/304262/eric-s-75-reef-ish), so this is almost 3 years later. Sorry, the colors aren't great, and I never could get a good shot of my coral beauty (she's my pride and joy as I've had her for 5 years).
maroon clowns

mushrooms galore!!

scarlet hawk

star polyps (obviously a lot!), leather, anenome with maroons (only one in there in the picture), chromis, frogspawn, zoos, and mushrooms

another shot and feather duster

more of the frogspawn (and a different type of mushroom)

WOW....what a difference.....How about a Full tank shot...love the shrooms too
glad to see you got rid of the HA....you sure had a lot...LOL....

 

[ecooper]

Yes, that was due to a bad IO filter in the kitchen. Anyway, here's a full tank shot. It didn't turn out well...

Is that gsp all over.....wow

 

[ecooper]

Yes. It's not quite the nuisance the hair algae was, but it does have to be pruned.

Looking good. It is amazing how our tanks progress over the years.

Looks good!
I love seeing progression threads that last through years. I never keep my tank the same or long enough to have more than a year or so of a progression thread, LOL.

I can understand that. I used to have all sorts of changes, but the last 2 years (except with the addition of the clowns) has been relatively stable (well, inside the tank - I've made changes to the filtration system). And, I just looked at my logs and now realize it's time to change one of the halide bulbs. Ah, well, everything changes...

Tank looks great. I like seeing the detailed shots as well as the FTS. Thanks for posting.
