My 220

[FL_Reefer]

Well I've been on here for a few months now and have never really posted any tank progress pics. I have had the tank for a year now. Bought it off someone that had it set up as a predator tank. Got rid of a fish, cleaned rock and everything else and started the reef tank I always wanted. The new tanks almost 8 months old now so here's some pics! All feedback is welcome.

The beginning

After cycle and new lighting:

Still a long way to go to fill this baby up but off to a good start. Wish I never put GSP in, stuff is everywhere!

Nice rock work, tank is looking good.

I like GSP, as long as it is banished to a lone rock island.

I had a Tiger Cowrie that ate GSP, although I'm not sure if this is normal behavior for these snails.

Thanks for the kind words, that was my mistake, I couldn't decide where I wanted to place it so little bits of it stayed wherever I had so now it's in a few different places. I will win the battle someday! Lol

Thanks, I think that was my favorite part of this build, it took me a week or so till I was finally happy with it. Still had some left over too but couldn't find a place were it looked right.

I'm not sure what type of rock it it, sadly, wish I knew. Some of the nicest I've come across. The guy that I bought the tank from had purchased it locally from a shop in Winter Garden, FL and then I added a few pieces I found here in Tampa, off cragslist. If someone on here does know what type it is please chime in because in curious my self.
