Post up pics of your old tanks and what that setup taught you that you improved upon moving to the next setup.

I'll start:

First tank: 55 gal setup. Quickly learned that I wanted more room. No pic of that setup.

Second tank: 76 gal Half Circle - LOVED this tank....hard to take pics on a circular tank. Learned to love MH lights. First Kalk reactor

Third tank: 40B setup. Love the 40B dimensions..Learned that using a controller made my life 100% easier. No pic

Fourth Tank: 60 gal - 4x2x1 - Loved the shallow and rimless look. Learned I'd need a cover for my new love of wrasses

Current Tank: 220 Fish-Only...Tired of reefing for a bit...wanted to get fish I normally couldn't keep in a reef.
 
Gorgeous clarkii!
 
Love your old 76 too, same tank I am currently running. You are right about pics being difficult, but the 1/2 circle really is beautiful with the right aquascaping and fish.
 
Thanks. That Clarkii was huge

I loved that 76 half circle. Had to use the taller but skinnier MagFloat to keep it clean. I mounted a 2 x 150w MH fixture AND a 1 x 250w MH fixture on that sucker, haha.
 
This was my 2nd tank a 30g long about a yr ago before I took it down to move.

Back side of my 1st 125. Yellow stickies are where I was templating for my closed loop on 125 2.0.
