:lol: I was going to point that out, but I thought I'd see if anyone would notice :mrgreen: Also that was back in Jan. 2007 as you can see (other then tank sizes) not much has changed!

FYI I just realized that my green bubble tip anemone is my longest living saltwater thing (other then the live rock) and It's gone through 3 tank moves and I've had him since the summer of 2006

Well, it all started in 2002 when my wife suggested getting a "little" aquarium. Well we jumped right in with a 90 gallon with trickle filter from the bargain finder. It sat on cinder blocks. No picture of this tank.

Then we soon upgraded in a few months with this tank (it's the only picture that I have of this tank) 150 gallon 48 x 24 x 30 tall. I built the canopy out of a sunshine ceiling thingee and outfitted it with 2 x 400watt radiums. Visible fuge. It was a great set up.

Soon after running this tank we sold our piano and put a 180 gallon in place of the piano. I have no picture of this tank. It had a moving 150 watt halide across the 6 feet of the tank and vho's. It was mainly a predator/softie tank. One of our favourite tanks.

Then later that year we bought a 7 gallon nano (no pictures). It had a mantis shrimp in which we found in our 150 gallon tank.

After that we bought a 46 gallon bowfront. I put a 400 watt halide over that sucker and plumbed it to the basement.

This is what it was hooked up to in the basement:

And some of the inhabitants:

Then we sold everything cause we moved and planned to set up again right away, but kids happened. Was out of the hobby for about 4 1/2 years and now am back into it with this:

http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1258992163

There will be no upgrading for me now. I am quite happy with my 5 x 2 x 2 tank and just excited to see it grow daily.

So....... it is the truth - MY WIFE GOT ME INTO THE HOBBY. (I don't know if she regrets it yet) :mrgreen:

PoonTang I can't let this one go.

Need an explanation of what's going on here.

Either you guys were the tiniest team in the league or your coach did not go unnoticed in a crowd!

Let it go Brett...

Besides, I don't think that's the coach, the coach is in the back row of the normal sized people wearing black if I'm not mistaken. I think, although I am just speculating here, that is a rather large child kneeling behind the coach. Hard to tell because they couldn't fit his head in the photo. Or else the photo of the photo got cut off but I like to think they couldn't fit him in.

:lol:

Lol. Its just my daughters soccer team photo. Instead of doing separate photos of the team and the player they super-impose one onto the other. Kinda neat in person actually.

Thanks man. Lol. Just thought it was amusing. I'll bet the kids love that!
