I like the first picture more. It shows the time and persistence you poured in - a labor of love.

Yes! While I kinda like the close up shot, this one is definitely a step above the rest. Do you think the bottom left corner looks lacking in color? I only say that due to the all the color coming from the top right? It is a great shot, and I can't even imagine all the blood, sweat, and tears that went into this tank. I'm so jealous

Beauty like that is not a labor of love! More a passion for spectacular!

I'll be honsest.... not much work. The 65 in the picture got set up because my 55g completely died off on me when i moved to our new house. Only one fish survived. I about threw in the towel but a buddy kept pushing me. I threw this tank together, tossed in some frags, and just let it ride and 2 yrs later it was this. No thought about what coral or what placement. Minimal water changes. Had to move the big rock on the right because my new destroyed a ton of zoa and started fouling out my tank but other than that still about the same. Random housing for corals until my 8ft 265g set up is ready
This is it now. The biggest regret was when I took that top down pic, I set my phone in the water a smidgen for a clear view and it toasted my phone, 1k down the drain, even though it was stated to be waterproof. Lame
