Dansreeftank rebuild

Do to unfortunate circumstances beyond my control needed to breakdown and sell all my livestock. .I don't look at it as a negative but a reason for me to things a certain way to make it easier and more enjoyable and make changes to things that I seen could've been better from the first time..I am going to make it simple system. .and the display more artistic if I can as much as possible. .I will take my time this time around...comments and advice welcome as I go.

I think it looks really nice! I think a little more rock on another island maybe would look good.

wow, you are getting things done! tank looks awesome - love the blue color in your stand - very nice touch! your scape is very unique! I love how you have the tank up against the white wall with the white blinds, that will really make your tank and its inhabitants stand out!!

Thank you very much for your comments. .my wife had lots of input into deciding on how to setup this time around I really like how much brighter it made it look in the room compared from the last color of the stand one change can make so much of a difference. .and the tank is standing out well with all the white around it..it looks more refreshing. .
