My 5' Bedroom tank.
 
Hey guys, not really from the begging but I have had this tank running about 5 months. I was recently reading a thread about not enough tank journals so I figured I would make my first one. Ive only been in the hobby a couple years so if you guys have any suggestions or comments feel free.

First of all tank is a 5 foot x 14 tall x 18 deep, making it about 65 gallons. Lit by 2 inexpensive led units, swc 160 skimmer, ecotech mp10es, tunze 6025, eheim 3000 return pump, started with just a couple pieces of live rock and about 50+ pounds of dry "reefers rock" or whatever from Jl. Loved working with that stuff as it is so easy to get a aquascape you like when its all dry.

Best part of all FTS was taken from my bed, awesome to watch the tank at night and my son loves it.
Ps. Forgive me for the mediocre quality photos taken just with the s4.

Long day, woke up at 6 in Toronto, worked, then flew home. For some reason I cannot sleep.
