How it began November 2011. Babe, you know that tank I always stare at at All Fish? Can we get it? "No way"!

"Its half off for Black Friday", please!

Then it landed in the garage


Got a plumbing in.




Configured sump


Ran Leak Test


Figured out a way to move it Egyptian Style


Of course Neighbors get sucked in


Just filled up


Installed some DIY cree lighting

 

[Aquanaut]

Realized I needed more lighting



Turned on Reef Octopus 3000 SRO


Added a computer. Best investment ever




How I made hobby affordable ( ;

I have few FTS going older to new. Last one was a while ago though Ill have to add a pic more recent. Its tough to get 7 foot long tank in one shot.
