I thought it might be fun to show some progression pictures of what things looked like when you got them and now. I will start it off. These are all about 4 years apart.

that's Frick and Frack when I first put them in my 28 nano

and that is Bob the Anemone. Both the clownfish and Bob were Petco purchases.

Theres Frick Frack Bob and all their friends. Frick (the one on the left) turned female, and they both live happily in Bob laying eggs on the rockwork underneath Bob. Bob grew to about the size of a basketball and pretty much limits what I can put on that side of the tank. He has killed a couple of corals already, and beating him back when he gets too close is a daily occurrence now.

That's Madusa, my hammer. Bob and Madusa had a little war going on in the beginning which I think Madusa won because Bob backed off.

That's Madusa now. She is a bit bigger than a grapefruit. Shes my Wifes Favorite (probably because of the name), so when I moved her to the 125 I was told to put her in the center of the tank as a show piece.

p.s. I was just thinking of starting a blog. posting all the stuff i put in the tank. so if i keep with this it would be fun to look back.

You should start a Tank build thread here!!! I often look back through mine just to see how fast stuff is growing.
 
Thanks. I thought more people would post before and after pictures, didn't mean to derail your thread.
 
You didn't derail it, that's what I was looking for. There are a lot of great reefers on R2R that have been doing this for a long time (such as yourself) and if in 4 years some of my stuff has grown like it has I know there are some awesome growth pictures out there
