My Shallow Reef.

[Ditchplains2]

Hi guys, I wanted to post a few pics of my tank and see what everyone thinks. I hope everyone had a really good New Year, my wife and I had a baby girl on Dec 7th, so we've been consumed with all the new parent things and no sleep. :lol:

Here's one pic of the new setup:

I have been out of the hobby for nearly a year, my original tank was doing very well, then a freak power outtage and heatwave last summer caused a meltdown, and so now I'm back.

here's the old setup precrash:

I'm hoping to get to back to where I was and move beyond, so wish me luck. Ok have good night everyone!


cheers

It's been a daunting task balancing things out, I try to give my wife and child the majority of my time when I come home from work and weekends, I do get a little time now and again to work on things.


Here's a little bit of info on my tank. It's from Glasscages. The stand is oak and from their company as well, it took me 2 months of weekends to stain and spar, and epoxy the stand.

Here's some upclose shots of the wood and stain:

Here's a few of my rocks curing. I cured them for 3 months:

Ok enough pictures for now, off to work, will post more later this evening.

cheers!
