    I started off last winter with a 55G complete set up I got from a guy about 50 miles North of me off Ebay paid 250 for everything but water and live stuff . I orderederd a complete package from Tampa Bay Salt water and the critters were great ! The 55 soon became way to small and looks like a cluttered mess . So I started looking and building . I first got a 90G predrilled new tank from a guy about 6 miles from the house off of Ebay 100 dollers no shipping :) It's black framed but I can work with it .I think I seen them new in a store for around 400 $ , Then I purchased a Euro Reef mod 6-1 protein skimmer with new pump for 140$ reg 370 dollers . I just recieved a Tek 5 4' 4 bulb 216 watt from the UPS man today I paid 140 $ ( I'm going to gut it and put the parts in the canopy ) 330 $ reg works great just pluged it in . Now I need to find some Halids to go with the T-5's and get the stand and canopy done . I'm sure it will be sometime after Christmas . I hope I can get these pics to post I'm kinda new with this stuff .Took a few of the stand in process .<

    ?

    I was messing with my new camera today and this thing stuck out a few arms ? or I don't know what you would call them . I know it lives under one of the rocks when I rearanged one day a while back I seen a jellyfish looking thing about the size of a quarter . It use to have those long thred like things sticking out all the time from under the rocks . When I had a cooperbanded butterfly it seemed to disapear I guess it was nipping at it . I lost the fish back a few months ago now it's back LOL any one have any Idea . I hope the pic post and you can see the arm leg tentical or what ever it may be . [​IMG][/URL][/IMG] Ok I figured out how to post from the gallery here but not from photobucket yet . I'm working on it .
