Congrats, Pat! I've always admired your talent for keeping corals, decorating your tank perfectly & your resiliency to bounce back from complete tragedy (more than once)!

You've seen the good, the bad and unfortunately the sad Jeni. We must all be complete knuckleheads to keep this up!

Congratulations! Absolutely beautiful, all that hard work came into great fruition!

congrats Pat! your tank is beautiful. it's a nice reminder, for me, of how all of the new gadgets and gear that's always coming out is not necessary for maintaining a great tank. It all boils down to the basics and getting that part right...

Thanks tenvibes and yes, the basics are definitely where it's at. Mastering your tank chemistry before getting into all the new add on and fixes will save a bunch of heart ache.
