    Looks very good. How old are the SPS corals?

    Some are new, some may be 10 years old. The oldest fish is a fireclown, about 24 years old. Some LPS may be older than 10 or 15 I don't remember.

    Do you frag a lot? I don't doubt you, just seems that for that long you'd think they'd be bigger.

    What do you keep your calc, mag, and alk at? Do you dose any trace elements? What is your water change schedule like and what salt?

    @Paul B Awesome
    Started my first FOWLR in 2007. Before that I messed with some FW. Mostly just local fish. I sill enjoy native species of FW better than tropical FW, but the salt is in my veins now, and I'm addicted. I would like still like to make a local species vivarium.
