Picture time!!!!!! (PICTURE INTENCIVE!!)


Ok .. Since this board helped the wife (Marianna) and I so much at the beginning of this project I wanted to share .. I havent really posted all that much lately but trust me ... we did a LOT of reading and research on here!!!! .. but I wanted to show you all how much your help had helped us get out tank to where it is today ...

First here is where we started 1.5 years ago ...



And this is where we are at now .. And we have all the people who helped us so much to thank ... WE LOVE THIS BOARD!!!!!

Very nice! It's hard to believe how fast our tanks can change when we really get into the swing of things. I had nothing but a 12 gallon nano with some rock and a maroon for 4 years. I found this site and then upgraded to a 24, then a 90, and now we are planning to have the 175 gallon up and running shortly. You and your wife have done a great job!
