Smann Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Have been viewing the site for awhile so i thought i would go ahead and jump in. My name is Steve, we started our tank in April of 04 (actually it was supposed to be my wifes tank) its a 180 gal reef and did not go well at first. After the first 2 years and much frustration I was ready to give up, instead I moved it to a different location in the house, started over and things took off now we enjoy it very much. when I'm allowed I'll post some pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-ed Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Welcome to the site! As a mid-level noobie, I can tell you this is the place to come with questions and problems! Look forward to seeing the pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smann Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Looks like i can post some pictures now, I'm not sure how to do this but I'll give it a try They only show up as attachments I can't get them into the body of the message anyway if you can see them I built the stand and hood in my shop after we ordered the tank, this picture is in our family room nook after I moved it, the others are a little closer of the right, center, and left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 I think I've got the hang of this Here's a close up of the tank, the next I call " stuck again" and my finger leather or devils hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Welcome to the site (clap)That is a beautiful tank Steve! I guess I know where to get some frags when I get the new tank setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Thanks your welcome to them, I have to prune about once a month and was looking for a site like this to offer the frags (or branches) instead of giving them to the LFS or throwing them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 where did you get the stained glass of the clown in the first picture? I am asking because I sometimes do stained glass as a hobby. It looks really nice there. The glow from the back of the tank lights it up great! Let me know when you are pruning, I'd take a few frags. I just live across the bridge in OC. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those just starting out can always benefit from the tribulations of others! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
