Let’s see um boys and girls, I wanna see some of your past setups. We all move on form one tank to another over the years. Some of them great and others not so much. Lol we have all had both types. So let’s have it, Pics pics and more pics
I’ll start it off with my 90 from when I first joined the club and my 180 before my current setup.
90 is lit by AI Vegas and is pretty average in Equiptment,
180 has metal halide (awesome light) with cal reactor and is a much better system.

Oh so many..

This was the first tank, running some blue af T5s.

Next came the mushroom tank.

Along came the main display. Was started as an anemone tank, until the incident where I lost most of the tank, it just became a softie tank.

Next to that, the clownfish breeding system and freshwater cichlid tank.

Now that I'm moving, all that's left is this 45 gallon shallow, that's moving with me.

It prob took that tank about 2.5 years to look like that. Stability for some reason in that tank was so easy to maintain , found the right bio load and feeding regiment with a proper skimmer and everything took off from frags.

Are you friggin kidding me?
You know I change tanks every 3-4 weeks.
Here's a couple...

Think this is a 40b from 3 years ago or so...

This was that 90 I had set up in the kitchen when I was first in the club...

Too bad I'm so lazy. I can do the large tanks well but just can't be bothered with the maintenance.
