Gonna post up my progression from start to now. It changes pretty frequently bc I'm obsessed with this hobby, always moving rock around, selling corals, buying new ones..but I promise I'll include new pics on a regular basis. I'll also be doing my 180g build here around April :D


On with the pics as I'm sure that's what most of you want to see anyway lol. Just ask if you have any questions.




And it begins! I was such a noob then haha

My first build was this 55g, man I got hooked so fast in this hobby.

This is basically the way my 55g ended before upgrading to the 75g

Here is a pretty recent video of my tank..sorry about the backround noise! Enjoy, let me know what you think..[glow=red,2,300]also I have two corals I don't know what they are.. they were given to me as gifts, maybe you guys could help me identify them?[/glow] First is all the way to the right towards the top..kinda looks like a candy cane coral, green outside with orange in the middle.def a sps coral i'm sure. The other is right around my big yellow leather to the right. Round Blue and purple Coral? Thanks all!

My 75g reef tank, enjoy!! - YouTube

Nice tank man! This hobby is crazy addicting...but that's how you know you are in the right place.

The star polyps look sweet! And what's that red stalk/white tentacle euphyllia looking guy on the left side of the tank?

I believe that is a condy anemone. -http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=497+499+619&pcatid=619

Green- I am SO jealous of your cubicus boxfish! I would love to have one, or a longhorn cowfish one day. Not your yellow tang, but your other tang doesn't look too good, but he seems to be acting well.

Thanks wysiwyg, funny you say that, I had them up so high to have them grow faster, I'll be rearranging my aquascaping very soon, they will then be on the bottom. Its crazy how fast they grow!

Squishie u are right, it is a condy anemone :) Haha, yea well he actually just died yesterday for no apparent reason. The place I got him from is a really awesome guy...he didn't understand it either..he has one more there, he told me to stop in today to pick it up..so wish me luck, fingers crossed. They are awesome fish!

also squishie which tang are you talking about? They are all healthy as can be! If your talking about the gray one (Naso Tang) I just picked him up this past Sunday..if your wondering about the white spots on him, they are his baby spots..they will go away as he gets older
