Well, good morning folks!

Today officially marks 1 year since I first put saltwater in a tank. Kind of crazy how fast time went. But man, I learned alot. I met amazing people, and added over 10 amazing people to my family ;) . Never would I have thought that I would of gotten this from a fish tank.

It's crazy how far I've come in a year. When I was putting water in my 15g last year, I would have never thought that exactly one year later I would have a 115g.

Thanks for all your help and encouragement for getting me through my first year! I appreciate ALL of you!

Mine too after we get the refugium running. Plan is to have a workday in Feb with my brother Ryan's family and drill (wish me luck) and raise the refugium.
