Pics, one year into the hobby


This is a full shot of the tank......I started with a 46g bow front almost 1 year ago to the day..about 5-6 months ago I switched the 46g to a 120..and that's what you see here:

the aquascaping looks much better in person, it's too deep caves that the tangs love to swin in and out of and around etc:

a closer look at the cave on the rightside...the yellow tang calls this one home, but he's nice and shares it with others duing the day....


The tang has been with me from day one (1 year old) as has the blue damsel and a scooter blenny......i've had some others die off as I learned, but things are going smooth for now....

Chad,

Your tank looks awesome. I have a 120g too and I just purchased T5s too. I hope my tank starts to look like yours.
