Before and after

[Lamball1]

There should be a place on this website where people show their tanks when they just started and how it grew over time etc.

If there isn't, Post your pics here !:beer:

I somewhat agree. People already do this, but it is drawn out over 100+ pages. Staying knowledgeable on RC requires good skim reading and sometimes even luck.

I'll give a time line from my nem's perspective. From a 20g, to a 55g, 75g to finally a 180.
