The Stages of my tank

[tomato clown]

Figured I'd show the transformation stages of my tank in the past 3 years, All comments are expected and appreciated regardless of negativity. Just realize that at one point I basically gave up and lost all hope.
Here we see pictures 3 years ago after 2 weeks w/o power from storms. Pictures are in order

This is where I began to give up and listed all my stuff for sale. The red algae did me in for the longest time no matter what I did it continued to return

Last ditch efforts started 10 months ago where I stopped turning the lights on for no reason and just let everything cycle through itself.
Bought some new equipment and the pictures show how that went...

Tonight just for kicks I figured I'd show a blacklight strip picture and a single LED picture.
LED is brighter and looks nicer
