So as some history, I bought this tank back in San Diego in 1989 when I was 14. I had purchased a used set up that had a major seal failure while I was at school. After a total loss, this 60 gallon TRU Vue acrylic tank was brought home. This tank has seen many iterations from a large crushed coral bottom with an under gravel filter to a live rock fish only to a CPR hang on back to its current setup with a hang on fuge and protein skimmer. This tank has also traveled a lot! It has been set up and running originally in Cali, then off to Dansville,New York in 2 different houses, up to Brockport,NY then down to Sarasota, Fl again in 2 different houses then up to Lakeville, NY where it is now set up. My son had it as a Freshwater Planted setup for 5 years and just this past March I switched it over to its current setup. It was a low budget build with all leftover pumps and lights. As I have a 100 gallon mixed reef setup in the livingroom, this was setup in the kitchen. Currently it now houses a pair of TR DaVinci clowns, a pair of TR Bangai Cardinals, a Tomini Tang, and a Banana Wrase. There was a cleanup crew until the Banana wrase was added! So now I am battling a hair algea problem, that is just now getting under control. Picts will be posted later
