New member... new tank
 

http://www.canreef.com/photopost/dat...G_0284-med.JPG

Hello, I have been lurking for a while and thought I should finally introduce myself. I hope I got my photo to work. It is a picture of my new tank. I customized an old armoire and had a 135 gal. tank built for it (49l x 24d x 28h). I combined 2 smaller tanks livestock. I had a 50 gal running and I bought back a 70 gal. that I had sold 6 years ago to a friend. The end result is that all the livestock was mine originally. In fact, some of the corals are 18 years old, which is how long I have had a reef tank of 1 form or another (actually 11 forms if a person were counting).

Anyhow, thought I would initiate my first post with a picture and some background. I live in Calgary, by the way.

Dude! My hat's off to you! That is one SWEET looking rig! Those colonies are monsters! DO post more pics.... and oh ya.... details! What are your secrets? C'mon man! Share! :mrgreen:
