Hello everyone... Just wanted to introduce myself and post a couple pics of my tank... I'm new to salt, this is my 1st salt tank after more than 30 years of fresh (currently have 4 fresh tanks going with active breeding african cichlids... So if you ever want a couple free kenyi feel free to pm me) started this build over the summer with a 150g tank I found on Craigslist for $20... Built a stand... Ran electrical... And built a pvc overflow to a 55 gallon sump that I built out of spare aquarium parts I had lying around my house... With 2 young kids I am trying to keep everything as cheap as possible (also to keep my wife happy too)... Right now the tank has 2 clowns, 2 chromis, 1 royal gramma, 1 diamond watchman goby, 1 lawnmower blenny, 1 yellow tang, 1 kole tang, 1 vlamingii tang... Mostly soft coral with a couple lps... Thanks

Funny how you can never tell how big a rock pile is until a little tiny yellow tang swims up for size comparison. Wow lol nice

So I'm procrastinating on some work I have to do and figured I post some tank pics as its been almost 2 years since I posted photos. Pretty big difference.
