oh boy.... i'd started this thread, just to let all the people whome help me, know and see the progress of my new hobby. i never posted anything to show off or brag of what i have. i'm not rich, i'm not poor, i'm just a regular joe who stumbled across this site and got addicted to all the awesome tanks, and decided to start my own. the pictures and details of it, is to help the next reefer with their set up. i spend a whole lot of money, on my equipment because, i only want the best for my fish and corals. my decisions was based on recommendations from people who knows how to maintain an aquarium. the qoute i hear all the time "DO IT RIGHT, THE FIRST TIME or DONT DO IT AT ALL"..... so i did! unfortunately, the right stuff tends to cost more... simple as that.
ohh, almost forgot! YES, i maintain my tank myself! what fun is it, to hire someone to do it???
thanks everyone for the kind comments!
