Aquarium transition

[Snappy]

I was going through some old tank pics and had to chuckle so I thought I'd share my aquarium's transition over the past 2 or so years. The original set up was in Oct 04 and at that time I had no plans to keep any coral. As I have evolved there have of course been many changes. I did a complete tear down and start over Labour day weekend Sept 06 as I had a huge algae and RTN/STN problem, I cut back dead tissue and saved what I could so for the most part I mainly had a just large frag tank. I believe I have fixed the issues that contributed to the problems so I am hoping it might be something a little nicer to look at in another year or so.

Nov 2004, complete with back drop picture, cyno and plastic plants ( I guess we all have to start somewhere. I had just added in a sponge and RBTA so I thought I was just cruisin' right along.)

More current front and side views below. The front view was taken with just the 2x150w 20k lights so I assume that's why the regal tang looks purple.

I am not going to frag that one, it grows too slow and plus it's my favorite.
