365seasons is on a distinguished road
Default 365seasons 55G (updated august 15th- new pics!)

My husband and I are very new to the hobby, as I'm sure everyone's seen numerous posts of our never ending questions! We have our 55G column tank set up in the corner of our bedroom, and just as we finally finished buying all the rock work and thought the buying was going to slow down, we decided to build a species tank for my seahorse addiction off of it. So here goes, from the beginning.

Bought the tank (The hubby suckered me into this one, we got it for a killer deal at the petstore I used to work at---no idea we were going to turn it saltwater yet)

Tank without water (Don't mind the stupid ornament in it, came with the tank)


Salt, sand and live rock added


First rockwork, and setup (This lasted up until our big salt spree)



Alright, so as we are younger parents, and have a newborn son, tank purchases are not priority, and we'd managed to keep buying to one "purchase" a month. The last few months though, we went just slightly wild.

After buying a bunch more rock from konaevent, and the MH pendant from Pazil. Ziptied all the rock together, found a few crabs, and a mantis shrimp
