    So true.. I catch myself talking about the "big tank" I'm going to get... My current tank is 210g and I act like its just tiny... I don't think I'll ever get over wanting something bigger or at least shaped different, lol.

    Great looking aquarium - Nice to look back. When I help set up someones aquarium I always show them my photo,s and vids of the first three months. Helps people understand that it takes time. Great post

    It does take some time, and lots of effort. But is so worth it IMO.

    I'm sure you recognize that huge sunset monti;D

    And thanks John, I am amazed at how well things have done, with the lack of equipment. I have probably had to work too hard because of it. I basically am stunting my sps growth by being out of town so much for work, and having alk swings and just basically a lack of stability.

    I really need to figure out on whether I am going to continue dosing 2 part, which I need dosing pumps. Or go with a calcium reactor, which I can get one used for cheap right now.....decisions decisions...
