I cheated and started with an already running FO (fish only) system that I bought used. Since then I've always just transferred the inhabitants of an old tank into a new tank and never actually started from nothing.

LOL! That's why I started up with a gently used tank.
That's the very first lesson I learned here at canreef

I actuall have a really nice piece of Colt coral that was one of my first additions into my 65gal. Got it from The Reef Shoppee & it was only about 2" tall, now it is almost 9" tall & really fuzzy looking.

Kenya Tree on the other hand is a real plague except maybe in a FOWLR. I have a bunch of it & it will not make it into the new tank for sure.

Same here but it was actually one with a few corals, a few fish & one of the nicest Volitan Lions I had ever seen.

I started with 2 Black Saddleback Clowns... It was too small of a tank (29G) and they got to aggressive for all the other occupants that were added later and had to be removed and brought into a LFS for credit
