    I have finally reached the 1 year mark! 11 fish and tons of soft coral, and LPS inhabit my tank. My Marine Betta, and Mandarin are my favorites. (Pictures progress from 1mo-1yr mark).

    Wow, very minimal rockwork! What are you using for filtration? Tank looks great though!

    I have a sump, and slowly added rock and fish/coral. I transitioned from freshwater/discus and learned slowly on my own. I have had the betta for a year and he is about 8 inches now!

    How does your betta do in a reef tank? They are very unique looking fish. It compliments the bright corals in your tank quite well.

    Not sure of the exact dimension, but it is 4x1 feet. The betta does well and pretty much keeps to himself. He eyes the crabs sometimes but never seen him eat one haha...thanks for the comments!
