You know I finally sat back and looked in the tank just last night and said.. wow I'm actually happy with how this looks right now. That's the first time I have said that.

I've always been afraid to post pictures or have people see my tank because I have never been happy with it myself, but now I am... Now for the sales pitch... the reason why I am happy.. Zeovit. It is a gift from the gods, a miracle drug if you will.

Now I just need to change my addiction from getting the tank looking good to filling it with coral.

One more point I guess is that I like buying things, being in this hobby gives you the chance to go out every week and buy something new, I don't think anyone would ever say that their tank is full and just stop.. reefers always seem to be changing things up

I agree almost entirely except i like people to look at my tank i like all feedback good and bad. Finally got it to where i like it myself. got about 6 decent corals in there now. not much but enough to make it look better than barren.

asi am sure everyone know i am a newbie at SW. I hate tring to find stuff online as i never find the info iam looking for. Thanks for your patience, comments and suggestions.
