Lets see your first reef tank

[Reef Pets]

I was going through some old photos and came across some photos of my first reef tank from about 15 years ago.
Thought it would make a great thread for people to show off their first reef and maybe a little information about your set up. No everyone has great photography skills and that's not what this thread is about. Good quality or bad quality photos, post them!

These photos were taken roughly 15 years ago. Its a 125 with overflow box and a wet/dry. There were 4 VHO in the hood and no skimmer. Water flow consisted of some pumps hidden within the rocks and some on the back glass. I have had a bare bottom from day one.

Here's a 29g tank I had 2 years ago. It's a mixed reef with 6x39w T5's, HOB overflow and a fuge with no skimmer.

Ok you asked for it. LOL!

Then I guess about a year later evolved to this after a heater burst and crashed the tank.
