Burtonboy's 30 gallon reef

[burtonboy]

Hi everyone,
I started a 30 gallon reef tank October 19 2009 and i thought i would share some of my progress with everyone, Here are some pics from the start to now.
I'm in the proses of planing my 85 gallon reef so ill be making another thread soon and ill get it from the beginning. I hope to get a start on it sometime this week.
Enjoy!:mrgreen:

Here is my new skimmer i got last week! I was using the tunze nano but thought i should upgrade considering that i want to have mostly sps with at least 4 fish. Thought a little more skimming wouldn't hurt anyone:amen:
