pics of 55 before katrina. 180g after

[tank watch]

Hurricane Katrina killed everything in my tank. No power or access to my home for days.
Now I have a 180 set up. I hand built the canopy my self because a matching top was not available. I think I did a good job of matching the bottom cabinet.

( the secong two photos are the 180g

nice tanks sorry about the death of the tank mother nature is so pretty(saltwater fish) but can also be devistating

Looks great!

Canopies add so much to the tank balancing things out and hiding the lights. Focuses attention on the tank itself. I did the same thing and the before & after pictures make it look like 2 different tanks.

thanks guys. the tangs got along fine, once the yellow was gone! I lost all livestock in the tank. some parts were salvaged.
I have about 150lbs live rock now in the 180. I may get more live rock, but I will still get small pieces with corals.
