Default DJ's Fifty Five New Pics Nov 7

So here it is, after 10 years away from the hobby I have returned to the insanity and addiction that I missed so much. I sold my 110 gal custom that I drug around the province unsetup since my departure. 1 month later I realized my mistake and bought this wife approved size and it has been running for about 6 months. At first I started collecting everything that I possibly could, as most of newbs have done. I battled both brown and red algae. Both of which enfuriated my wife. In the last little while things have really settled down. As you can see I ended up with a huge rock wall, not the look I wanted. After searching through the journal's I found the look I wanted, Lobsterboy's Tank is amazing. So here is my attempt. Hope you like it and the new outcome.If anyone has an easy way of adding these pics let me know

Thanks for looking DJ

Cool! thanks for sharing.

I suggest uploading your pics to www.photobucket.com or a similar site and then just insert the IMG code to your posts. That way we don't have to click the links and can just see the pics. Plus on photobucket you can edit and stuff.

Nice improvement with the lobstaLayout. That shot thru the cave is cool too.

Don't you just hate extended departures from this hobby? I hope to stay wet for a long time now myself!

Tank looks great! Did you ever get your flame? I really like the open look as well and have done that with my new tank too.

I think he meant where do I live, Doug. Get your mind out of the gutter for 2 minutes. I told Laurie to give you heck by the way.

And to answer his question... I am in Penticton.
