As many of you know my tank was poisoned and I was leaving the hobby. In the thread I posted my start up and figured it'd be easier to post in its own organized. I had a hard time at first finding funds. Another hobby I have is collecting rare basketball shoes. I decided to sell off some of my shoes in order to get this tank back up and running. I found a biocube for cheap online and decided to get it. Only one light worked and it was very dirty.

My lfs was having a great sale and I needed to cash in on it.

After evaluating the stock lights and finding someone selling a brand new led fixture for cheap, I tossed the lid and bought the light. I also cycled the tank and added the anemone and clam that had somehow survived everything, and were sitting at my lfs until I was ready.

I found some great deals on frags and large corals posted on Craigslist and arranged to pick them up. Turns out the seller lives 3 houses down from me.

I have to turn off blue for my phone camera to get decent pictures.
