    Just wanted to do a small write up on my tank the beginning till now. The reason I wanted to do this is because my knowledge about SW has come reading the internet and more importantly, this forum! I think my tank alone can show the value of this forum and the people that make it up. I dont have the first setup pics of my tank.

    Each step looks much better the last, just imagine what it will look like in a year or two.

    Had some hard time in the middle, lost a few fish and had some other issues but right now everything is looking good. Current Pic from today. I think you would all agree a huge difference.

    thank you and it was started around March 09. but the main portion of the tank came from an upgrade from an 30 gallon.
