New member... new tank
 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.
