Hello Canreefers,

I joined Canreef wayback June 2013 and I have attempted to have build a dream reef but keep on failing miserably. I have quit a couple of times but I kept on coming back… like a fly that’s attracted to the bright light of Metal Halides.

I have learnt a lot on my 7 years of Trial and Error approach and came into a conclusion that this hobby is like a stock market, you can’t keep them up all the time.

I actually patiently waited for Rich [Bblinks] to become an Admin of this forum before posting my tanks here, (so I’ll have some clout).

Actually if not for Hung, my tank will be empty. Thanks Hung for donating your precious acros.

WTH, without further ado, here’s my tank.
