I had one for a couple of years. I eventually sold it because it got too big for my tank.

That's not completely accurate Daniel. Everything seems to grow in that sumpless, tap water tank of yours

I've had so called "hardy" corals go south on me and some finicky ones are doing fine. Keep your params in check and you've done all that you can to help it along. The strong will survive and the weak shall be lessons learned.
