Evening all -
Ive been an avid fish keeper for twenty years and have finally made the "leap" into marine tanks about five years ago. I started out with a 10 gallon tank with some sand and rock and a few ornamental shrimp, after a year or so, I really wanted something that was less bulky and unwieldy, so I went with a Oceanic 29 gallon Biocube. This worked well for a while, but the limitations on both coral and fish size made for a lot of day dreaming and the constant want for more. Luckily, even though my wife hates "those gross crusty things" in the house, she's let me continue to upgrade and I was able to finally find a great deal on a 70 gallon bowfront tank. Thats has been my main tank for about three years with the BioCube making a come back from the depths of the garage and turn into a new main floor tank (the big one has been designated for dungeon (basement) duty). Here's some shots from the tanks in all their incarnations, ranging from when I was new and stupid (which is evident in some of the fish selections) to today when I was finishing some maintenance on the tanks and thought I would get a few new shots.
Clicking any of the pictures will take you to the photobucket album that has many more pictures, I just didnt want my first post to hog a ton of bandwidth!
Anyhow, Im really happy to have found an active forum that has people interested in the same things I am, and are in "relatively" close proximity. I was able to attend the A2Swap earlier this year and Im really looking forward to attending more events in the future.
Questions and comments are encouraged and welcomed! Thanks for looking and Happy Reefing!
