Don't have much of a build thread didn't document much.
I had saltwater fish when I was around 12 (I am 43 know) I had an underground filter, no water flow other then the air pump for the underground filter). Looking back it was amazing anything lived I had a lion fish that I feed gold fish to and some other fish. I used to dump fresh salt directly into the tank after water changes and once again looking back it was amazing the fish survived.
I joined the military at age 18, I did have tanks during my tours, but was hard to keep things going I moved around a few times. I am still using a 40 gallon all glass tank I bought at my first base as a sump.
Moving to about 28 after getting a decent job and buying a house, I hit the hobby pretty hard, I wanted to try every thing. I bred banggai Cardinals, got every coral I could get my hands on for propagation and couldn't go to enough frag swaps and club meetings. After about 7 years I lost my job and was forced to take a break.
About 2 years ago I started back up and once again it is almost an obsession I am reading every thing I can get my hands on. All corals in the tank where started as frags, most of them came from LEAR frag swap (can't wait until next month). I have an old euro reef skimmer (old habits die hard) 2 165 Watt Chinese LEDS for lighting ( will be upgrading to AP700 with tax return money) I dose 2 part from BRS and use Acro Power about every other day.
here is my down stairs tanks and yes I did have upstairs tanks also.
here was my new tank started about 2 years ago
didn't realize how different things are until today tank, sry for the rotten pictures all i have is HTC one phone
