Today, my father sent me an email and I like this part, so I'm sharing it with the world: "In case it's slipped your mind, or perhaps you don't remember that day, but 45 years ago today, a precious little bundle of joy arrived on this planet, destined to make reef hobbyists happy in countries all over the world." He's a smart man. To celebrate my birthday, I decided to organize a DFWMAS Tank Tour so I could not only hang out with a bunch of my friends ...
I had kept a 10 gallon freshwater tank for about 3 years, and decided to get a larger one. My brother told me about how cool his saltwater tank was while he was in college 20 years ago, and I decided to look into it.

This was a nice spot, but was very central to the house. It would have to be done well, as it would be on display ...
So I'm using the "New Additions" category. I hope that ok for hardware as it kind of sounds like livestock/coral... At any rate, I just got a little something in the mail that might be a bit overkill for this build... MP40...

I'm going to run about two-three weeks with only substrate and ...

The countless water changes performed, the meticulous testing you did and redid hoping that stubborn nitrate test wouldn't turn red. Even something a simple as seeing your first limpet stuck to the glass and thinking ...

First, this tank is going in my office not my house so I don't have to worry about my beautiful wife hating the rough look. Now on to the stand... I'm going to leave the side open and put a couple shelf sections in for parts, food, you know fish stuff! I'll brace the back for strength, and also have a nice place to mount my controller parts. (That'll be a tough choice??? RKE or RKL? Who am I kidding, I ran an RKE decked out on my 10g!) Anyway, ...
