Its kind of funny how you talk about one thing and that leads to another LOL. Like fish tank history to live rock to sock puppet to bare bottom finaly to cod fish. :lol:

It is hard to follow some of the tanks shown in this thread. My tank is a 72 gallon bow and it is only a little over one year old. It has come a long way.

from the begining...
it started out with two freshwater bowfronts; 46 & 72 (both non-drilled)
i'd kept freshwater since i was a child. then jeff (stang69) convinced me
to convert one of them to saltwater...

continuing...
"they" often say that once you go saltwater, you'll never go back...
i think this is true.
within about six months of getting the 46 bow online as a reef
(with all the wrong equipment mind you. live and learn)
i new that having the silver dollars and fasciatus in the 72 was a crime.
so i converted it, made significant improvements to the peripheral equipment, and was well on my way. but...
i never trusted that damned overflow box (i was very lucky to be home the first time it was put to the test).
so with the help of eric at the shark reef, i was able to score a great reefready tank, and move all my critters once again, into their current home.
sorry i don't have a more current photo, camera was stolen out of my car.
it pretty much looks the same, accept everything is begger, and the glass is more coraline encrusted.
i'd really like to thank jeff and eric both. they were both always more than willing to give me the correct advice every time.

That only means you have to take more pics, then show them to us
I kind of like your aquascape, what does that do for the flow in your tank? You definitly have given your fish alot of cruising room!!

That still brings a tear to my eye Chuck. I'm so glad I got to see it in person when it was at its prime and look forward to seeing it when you have it looking even better than that...soon I'm sure.
Wow, to paraphrase an old Dead tune, what a long strange trip it's been. Still looks good Chuck, but man, what could have been. Why are you gonna replace your Live rock?
Love the stand.
