In 2009 I got married to my lovely wife!
she knew my passion for the hobby and bought me this, for our home!

I'm posting a few pics here as kind of a log.
the stand is suffering from some water damage and i'm afraid of the tank coming down on its own.
so i'll be replacing this system with a 65G RR that I've already picked up.
as soon as i'm recovered from surgery (again) i'll be setting it up, hopefully end of this year, but probably next year???

Wow your tank looks positively packed with life! Love the clam. Boy those curved/bowfront tanks play havoc with cameras though, eh? Will look forward to your new tank to see how everything looks once it's moved over.

Happy b'day, btw. :)

Thanks Ian!

Yeah the curve poses some visual challenges.
Took me about a month before my eyes adjusted to the distortions. Now I don't see that weird affect anymore.
