    I started with reef tanks in September of 2008 with a 65 gal tank. I moved up to a 120 a few months later and then in March 2009 I moved up to this 210. Here is a video of my 210 reef tank that I took today. It's a lot of work to keep up a reef tank but it's all worth it when you sit back and watch a piece of nature in it's purist form. Enjoy!

    Thanks for all the support guys. That leather is insane I have a baby from it growing on the left end of the tank. If anyone wants him and lives in South Florida you can have him. I do a lot of things by the book except the feeding part. As you can see I have a lot of fish that eat all day long so I feed them 3 to 5 times a day. I do change the floss every other day and I don't mind because the fish are my life.;)
