    Hello all,
    I am a hobbyist from Atlanta GA. I am still relatively new to the hobby. I bought a 75 gallon for my 13yr old son for his birthday last November. Didnt know what I was doing so we crashed and burned rather quickly. Set it all back up in February with a light, skimmer and sump upgrade. That along with the help of my buddys at Atlanta Reef Club, we have a very healthy mixed reef tank with some cool fish and inverts.

    Just bought a 175 bow front. There is nothing in it now but tap water checking for leaks. I have a brute full of live rock and a lot of ideas.
    I am currently searching for some unique aquascaping techniques to get me going. Thought the 3reef crew could help.

    Yeah, I thought so too. I dont expect to run in to that kind of deal too often. She had a 110 tall set up. I guess its still available. If you interested...I'll ask.


    So whats the easiest route to find aquascaping ideas on the forums.
    Just do a word search?

    Thanks!
