Thanks for the kind words guys I love the hobby so it's only natural I'd want to get other people into it as well

The fish room has come a long way since the beginning of the project, and I'm constantly wanting to add new things to diversify the systems

Some current pictures of the corals/nems and a pic of the room to date

Well guys, its been a long time. I fixed my tank, and installed a new lighting rack. Over the latest snow I had a heater bust, causing my tank to drop below 70. I think I ended up losing 80% of my sps. Due to the setbacks, I think I'm going to go ahead and sell all the donated coral to donate to the charity.

On the bright side, I got accepted to my dream college (Berea College), so I'm going to be selling all my personal livestock and equipment to go towards my college fund.

Thank's for the help guys. It might not have gone to plan, but its been a good learning expierence.
