About Yourself: I am a college student, I started off with a 20 gallon tank with live rock and a freshwater filter. I soon realized if I was gonna have any kind of life in my tank I would need to invest in better equipment; I upgraded to a 38 gallon tank and bought a crappy Nano Remora protein skimmer. After three years of learning and messing things up, I have a 75 gallon tank with a sump tank, and some pretty awesome corals.

This tank should be #1. Your whorled capricornis and full-sized acros (per aquarium standards) feature the only really tricky coral growth out of most of these top tanks. The #1 tank has nothing going for it, simple corals, big size, nothing special in aquascaping or looks, all very common to the top tanks this month but your tank is really done well, its unique, and to a trained eye is a master reef. You should win man!
