dowtish's 90 bow

I was just going through my pics as this is my first attempt at a reef tank, and it is amazing how much things change in just over 2 years. Here are some progression shots of my tank over the last 26 months.

cool looking tank. Are you losing fish, swapping them out or are they hiding. I see some tangs in the beginning that aren't in the last photo.

Ich got me early on. I lost the yellow and Kole Tang to it. Then I setup a QT, and one of these pics I believe was when I was running the tank fishless for 9 weeks. Then I had AEFW, so I had my acros Qt'd for 10 weeks, and just now have started putting them back.

So yeah, hence the progress and change that occurs when you run into snags.

Its amazing how many of us ich bites in the ***. Tank looks great by the way, you should be proud.

Ich is so much worse than dealing with aefw. At least it was for me. Glad thats all behind me now.
