    Well it started with a freind GIVING me my current 56 gallon custom acrylic (lucky me) that sat for almost 2 years.

    My step son decided that he wanted a beta, ok got a 1 gallon hex that very soon turned to a 5 gal. So then the boss (wife) broke out her 29 gal that has been in the box for longer than ive known her and we graduated to 6 bleeding heart tetra's and 3 dalmation mollys, which btw are the coolest fish we have had yet. we could pet them and they would play with your finger, they were just neet. Well we had some water problems and they ended up in the big tank in the sky. R.I.P

    At about the same time i decided i was not waiting any longer to build my tank, she saw some albino oscars at the lfs, i believe they are actually called pink tail chiclids same as a tiger oscar only white, and well now i have three tanks and still no reef. DAMMIT! Oh well she's happy and into it and thats what will make it nice.

    Well theres my story just incase anyone cares and now hears some pics, the one thing everyone alwys likes

    Are there any large holes drilled in your tank to accommodate for filtration hoses and such? Mainly for an overflow and return plumbing.
