gook well first i started my my first tank about 2 years ago. It was a 55g with LR wasnt gonna get into corals but we all know how that goes. I researched for about a year before starting anything because i didnt want to waste money or lose much livestock and i did pretty good. I had the 55g set up for about a year when it sprung a leak :(. Then i took the chance to get a 75g and transfered everything into that. Unfortuanly about three months ago i had a terrible bubble algea outbreak and it took over my tank. so i started new, took everthing i learned here for the past few years and the little money i had, i am only 24 and redid my 75. I love it. I just wanted to share some pictures of my progression and maybe get some comments on the new aquascape of the 75g.
My 55g about 3 weeks old, whenit was only going ot be FOWLR. and of course the damsle starter fish, im a idiot :)
