kien's 150g Room Divider Mixed Reef & Stuff

I couldn't agree more. If you ever run into someone who tells you there is only one way to do reefing, run away.

I've seen some of the nicest reef tanks with super healthy, colourful, growing corals that were KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) and others that were gorgeous but with all the bells and whistles. Some use RODI, some tap. Some are almost religious about doing frequent water changes, others go months in between. Whatever works for you, stick with that. Some people have more $$ to spend on the high end equipment, others prefer to put in more work and time to so simple water changes to keep up water parameters. It really is more an ART than a science, although a lot of science does go into it.

At the end if the day, the principals are exactly the same for all of us.

1. Keep your tank clean
2. Keep your tank stable
3. Collect stuff you like.

What's different are the methods we employ to achieve the above. There are so many methods, and they all work so long as you implement them properly. That's the beauty of this hobby.

There is not just one single road, there are in fact many roads that will lead to success in this hobby :-) #LessonNumberOne

After randomly searching through the 150+ pages of this thread for a FTS, I vaguely remember searching for one a month ago to no avail.

On the excellent chance that I am wrong, I extend my sincerest apologies for my laziness and poor form. On the slim to none chance that I did not see a FTS, would you be ever so gracious to provide some pictures of your reef aquarium now?

You don't/didn't need to search all 150+ pages, just the pages labelled in green on the first page Table of Contents. :-).

I will see about getting an updated FTS. The thing about FTS' on my tank is that they are actually quite hard to do without looking weird because of the light and stuff showing through from the other side. This challenge is more prevalent during the summer months when the sun is still up until lights out at 8pm. In the fall and winter it's a lot easier because it's dark out in the early evening so I can render the other side of the tank completely dark. Draping a curtain over the other side helped but still looked weird cuz it's hard get the curtain perfectly smooth. First world reefing problems :-)
