Recently I started a build for a shallow rimless(mr.aqua ma-610, 24x24x12) and its going to be a masterpiece IMHO. Ive started reefing about five years ago and have been hooked ever since, the ocean has always fascinated me. Ive made all the rookie mistakes along the way and rushed and cheaped out on everything. I decided that it was time to invested and do this properly. I bought all new rock(BRS pukani) and sand and built a custom acrylic sump(almost finished). But no more need boring you with the story onto some pictures. Keep in mind i still have a lot of work to do. More pictures to come soon!

This is a tide pool I made with a piece of shelf rock and glued in some rock around it. this was in the old tank and Ill be incorporating it in to the new tank in a more natural way.
