Picture one is September 2006. Picture 2 is August 2018.

In a lot of ways it's not the same tank. I upgraded to a larger size for a couple of years downgraded back to the old tank. The live rock is still the same. (Not the exact same amount). A lot of fresh Tonga / Fiji live rock in the first picture. Sand is gone and the ever reliable maxijets are long dead. There actually is one coral that is still in the tank from back then. The red mushroom in the bottom right is the first coral I purchased. I got rid of it many times but 1-2 always pop up still and behind the big green leather there are still a few now in 2018.

Oh one more thing. The top picture is one month before I got my naked clowns. I still have one in the tank today.

Here is an old tank I had many years ago. 40B I started in July 2008 and took it down to upgrade in September 2011. 3 pics 1st when new, 2nd is at about a year 3rd is right before it came down for the upgrade. I really liked that tank but had ups and downs with coral color.

My previous tank was freshwater so I’m not sure I should post it in a saltwater forum. But it did spark my love of for keeping aquariums. You guys tanks look great btw.

Nothing ugly about that!!

Here’s the tank setup from when I purchased it from a guy back in February.

Here is the tank yesterday from my porch furniture I moved inside from the hurricane

Even back then I wanted a reef tank with my fake anemones and the such. But now I have one started so yeah!

Good Morning Everybody! Today is once again Throw Back Thursday, and I have a real treat for you all. In digging through my archives, I was able to round up this beauty. This is from DAY 1!

My #TBT is my IM20 that I upgraded from. I miss this little tank, she was packed and pretty.

I regrettably let maintenance slack as I was building my 125 in and lost a lot of them.
