Michigan Pride.

[Ron S.]

Well Michigan has their own sub forum now so lets show our pride. I would like to see a Full Tank Shot, a few favorite pics and some information on your set up. I will start off but I want to see your tanks. We all started some where and posting what we have done will inspire others to make their tank all it can be.

Thanks Ron

This is a shot from my spot on the couch.

One of my favorites.

My sump.

Some new frags...

I like the end on full tank shots...

 

[Ron S.]

That's what I'm talking about, looks great Mike. I know my tank is hard to follow(Don't mean that to sound arrogant) but it has taken may years to get there and It will probably have a major overhaul this winter. Man I'm not looking forward to that.

Ron

 

[Poseidon]

Thanks Ron!

I KNOW there are several more BEAUTIFUL tanks around our state, show them off!

 

[Saltysteele]

Mike, I saw it in a previous post of yours and forgot to comment, but my favorite part of your pics is the DNR wildlife refuge sign

NORTHERN REEF looks like your tank was off to a good start why do you change if you don't mind? I wouldn't mind seeing your lagoon.

Marvin tank is looking good.

[NORTHERN REEF]

thank you i was getting their for sure, when i first started into this wonderful hobby i started in the aggresive fowlr had that , then i really wanted a reef, so after upgrades with tanks and equipment i got my reef starting out, did reefing for a while like a year and a half almost 2 yrs and just for some unknown reason wanted to go back to fowlr one night so i took that rd, now been doing the fowlr and am happy but i do miss the reef, uhhhhhhhhh......... maybe oneday i'll start it up again:bigsmile:

ps i would love to post all the updated pics of my laggons but just like what happend to crustationnuts thread with the mappa i wanna avoid that lol thanks for the kind words

This was back in the day... my 90 gallon from March of 2002, when I actually kept a display tank for myself. Now my tanks are all for the business and not much to look at from an aesthetic point of view. Taking care of 60 + aquariums and running an online site will do that to ya! Maybe one day I will again have a tank just for me!

 

[Ron S.]

Acro76 that was a very nive tank. It's hard to enjoy a hobby once you turn it into a living. I don't know if you could post some information on your business tank setup or perhaps I could make a road trip to see it in person. :bigsmile::bigsmile:

 

[Ron S.]

Only five tanks in Michigan that can't be right? Where are the rest?:bigsmile:

Thanks!

My current setup is:
2 x 100 gallon 48" x 30" x 15"
1 x 120 gallon 48" x 24" x 24"
1 x 70 gallon fuge
1 x 60 gallon breeder sump

1 x 45 gallon 48" x 18" x 12" Quarantine

To be setup:

230 gallon 72" x 48" x 15"

 

[Ron S.]

Zoomzoom guy you tank looks great, corals looking happy and healthy.

Acro76 I'm assuming those are 15 high tanks? That probably makes corals easy to work with but how do you like them for viewing from the front? Realize you probaly don't worry so much about that part of it. Is the 230 going to be glass or acylic? Sound like it would be a sweet tank to look down into if you could limit the surface aggitation some how other than a look down box.

This is our work in progress! This has been 3 months in the making, so we don't have much yet, but we are hoping for it to get better soon. Also, I am not good with the camera, so this is as good as I can get. Sorry!!!
