135g Shallow FOWLR

[Miller Aquatic]

Background: My journey started in freshwater when I was 12 and once I saw saltwater I was hooked. My parents were heavily intimidated at the thought of saltwater tanks because people made it seem like it’s rocket science. It definitely is harder but not super bad. I got surprised 2 years later for Christmas with a 25g bio cube. Shortly after upgraded to a 55.
Flash forward 2 years and found a good deal on Marketplace. It’s never enough

Intro: I bought this 135g tank 72” 24” 18” because I love the shallow tank style, and it has a very big footprint. I bought the tank with a custom stand, a brand-new Fiji cube overflow, and a reef Octo 202s classic.
So the journey begins…

Welp after all of this I was being it inside and I wasn’t paying attention to the door and it smacked into the glass and cracked it. Game Over.:confounded-face: This was my dream tank and I can’t describe how I feel right now
