    Hello I have been into sw for a little over a year now. Decided to finally post after a vacation to Monterey aquarium over the Halloween weekend. I started with a 36 bow but just upgraded to 55 before our trip. Went from odyssea t5 to reefbuiders to 2 radions. Finally got a eshopps rs-75 sump as it is the only sump that will fit my stand. I have a mp10 and 1 hydor 750 hoping for another mp10. I still have a little gha do to canister filter so sorry no pictures yet. Just installed a swc 120. I hope this was a good choice. Jbj ato from 5 gallon ato. Sorry I did not want to post until tank looked perfect but really pumped after going to monterey aquarium and looking at all the tide pools. Also kind of disappointed that the sea otter exhibit was closed for remodel. Plus side was that the jellyfish exhibit was awesome. I would recommend anyone go to the Monterey aquarium. Also if you do go down split it up and get some food then re-enter. We did not realize you could leave and re-enter and spent 5+ hrs in aquarium and starved ourselves. Louie linguinees is also very good food reasonable priced and awesome to eat at if full moon is over the bay. I hope to get some pictures of the tank up soon after I get the tank to recover from the upgrade and the help from the vacation.

    Nope. I'm from Missoula. I don't think you've ever called me Eric as I've only posted about 4 or 5 times.
