Well after about a year of no mainenence and no coral two months ago I decided to reinvest some time into my tank.
Started a new job in January and now that everything is going smoothly and I am not working 60+ hours a week like last year I can keep up.

My old dirty tank is an AGA 75 gallon(influenced by chucks old tank)

-Lighting is kind of wierd right now. I have two ballasts EVS and PFO and an ARO that is just hanging around.
I have a few bulbs lying around but now I have a 14k hami on the left and a 10k on the right.
-Euroreef skimmer
FLOW
-stream 6000 and return from mag7 on left
-seio 620 and 820 on the right.

maybe 50-70 lbs of live rock

a couple corals and a fish or so

pacific coast 1/10hp chiller on mag5
 
here is a side shot of the left side.

Damn Brad...that tank used to look really good .... lol

Glad to see you're on your way back. I have a few frags you probably will want, just let me know when you're ready. I still have your bonzai too (doesn't seem to like my tank too much, but still alive).
 
Thanks reed. We need to get that one growing because I got it from clownguy and he lost his tank from what I heard last.

With the 10k on the right I cant even take a pic of the whole tank because it wont focus.
 
Looks like it is well on its way back to its former greatness. The blue stag is very nice. I don't have any of your frags, but if you are interested I have some nice millis, hydnephora, a tricolor (colors just starting to come out) and a couple other acros.

Thanks everyone. the blue one will get dremeled a little when It is comfortable. I have seen so many tanks nuked over the years. I now know to distribute frags so this coral doesn't disappear forever. I will need blue mille.
 
Hey Brad looking good. I was wondering what had happened to your tank.

That yellow tenius is special, hope you can get your hands on a frag.
 
It had a very yellow color more than most yellow corals. Just really good contrast to the rest of the tank.


By the way I am going out of town for a day so I wont be online til friday.
 
Ok so some up dated pics and after killing a bunch of coral this summer.
table(purchased brown and stning. growing and hopefully coloring up)
