Reef Junky & JWerner's 180

[REEF JUNKY]

This all started with a 72 gal fish only bow front. Then we saw all the reef tanks set up at the fish stores and HAD to have one of those too. The first one was a 13 gal with PC's which was quickly followed by a 42 with T5's, which still wasn't big enough so we converted that one into a 180 with MH.

Here's the fish tank that started it
