[Afishionado]

Hello, my name is Richard.

Little something about myself,

I am also known as Richard at Afishionado and I manage the official R2R Youtube videos.
I love this hobby and I try stay active by reporting and providing contents that are both unique and innovative.

My tank was featured as Tank of the Month in August of 2014 and this is my 72g.

Story here.

As an avid hobbyist for years, I ran into a problem that most of you probably went through.

I ran out of room.

what do you do when you run out of room?

You UPGRADE!

* Please ignore the 140g, it's 180g.


Carefully planned ahead before building and started to put all the pieces together.

Great friend, fellow foodie and huge inspiration to me, one and only @Julian Sprung getting things ready for my tank. Does it get any better than that?

Michael Del Prete, owner of aqua craft got my salt ready for this build.

My amazing friends Chad and Orlando of Aqua Medic hand picked their best items for this build.

I'm in good hands.

Is "your" Mr.X the same one that used to have the avatar of the masked guy in "V for Vendetta"? That sump is sexyful.

 

[Afishionado]

Not tank related. But shirt that I got from @Terence Neptune systems last year Reef A Palooza now fits me... Universe is telling me to stop eating like a fatty lol. I wore this while doing a review on a high profile review and people thought I was the sales rep haha!
