My tanks

[wjugovich]

I started my first reef tank last summer. I had many fresh water tanks at that time and always wanted to try reef.

I started with a 36 bowfront (drilled myself) with a 20 gallon sump in the closet thru the wall.

After moving and selling off everything I finally have been able to start a new tank at my new house, I now have a 56 (which I used to use for semi aggressive fresh water fish) with all HOB equipment.
