1 Year Reef Tank
TRT, I owe it all to you. The reef has reached 1 year. It has been a great learning experience, the input form all of you has been priceless. You guy's deserve all the credit for not just my tank, but thousands of others around the world. You guy's go beyond the average lfs (not all) but most I've found. This tank is everyones here who have helped me get through the first year, hopefully the toughest  Check it out, this is your advice in manifest. Thanx guy's!!!

Happy Birthday to your reef, Nick! 
The first year is definitely the hardest; not only with the learning but the tank's own bioadjustments. You've done a fine job!
