Photo #1 - New Tank, Set Up On June 11, 2006, Upgraded From ...

90 gallons reef tank (mostly live coral and fish) - New tank, set up on June 11, 2006, upgraded from a 55 to this 90. Only a few corals ATM, but as time goes i will slowly add some. Fish seem to love the open space, they normally didnt swim out in the open as much in the 55 but are always out in this 90.

About Yourself: Going to graduate college full time and work full time but still find time for this awsome hobby. Only been in it for 6 months now, but i have already found the time to upgrade. Cant wait till the tank matures and i can really start getting some corals going.
