Evolution: at the end of the world

Hello Guys!

Here is my tank

(more pics at the end of this page):

And this is my story:

I use to be an aquarist when I was a Kid, I left the hobby when I was about 16. I live in Chile Now and I am 40.
One day (2009-2010), my little brother show me his guppy tank.

that was the end of my rest in aquariums. So I start again with wild discus a 100 gal tank.

Then after a while (1 year) I decide to grow larger, and went for a 200 gal tank (aprox) - 2011

About a year ago, and after some travels out of the country (that make me stop a bit with discus since I could not give them the atention they need) and after breeding hundreds of Discus among other fishes (ramz, apistos) and fresh water shrimps (CRS & CBS shrimps),

And been study marine and reef aquariua for several years, I decide a new change. Reef. March 2015
I start with 2 small aquariums (50 & 80 gal).

And then, transform the 200gal discus tank into a reef tank, start in May 2015

and now August 2015...Just finish, and here you go...just 1 week after a long cycle period.

Hope you like it!
