Hello everybody!
My name is Laurens i'm 22 years old and I live in a small village in Holland. I grown up between the fishtanks my father has a 400g freshwater tank. When I was young catched fishes and other small animals living in the canals and kept them in small fishtank with my brother. Around age of 12 I started with a small tank with a lobster. This grown bigger to a tank with angelfish.

At some point it started to bore me I wanted more more colars, more action, more animals and more beauty. I started reading about saltwater tanks and started visiting shops. The big step was made I had bought a second hand fish tank. A 32 gallon cube. Soon I learned and learned and learned more. After a year my lights died and my skimmer stopt working. My reef colapsed...

I had to start all over, so i did. I started to build my own tank. After a few months it was ready a 75 gallon reeftank with 20 gallon sump. Fully sized like my wishes. Now after almost 18 months my tank is starting to look like a really healthy reef.

Welcome to R2R Laurens!

I agree, very nice looking tank. I also like your rock work with the two distinct columns, and the open area in the middle. Very nicely done.

Now start a "Member's Tank" thread so you can continue to document your tank. It's great going back after a couple years and seeing the changes that have occurred.

Again, welcome.
