Hairytank's 46 bow
Well, I finally decided to produce a Journal of my 46 galon bowfront.
In fact this journal will take you back in time...showing all..the good the bad and very ugly.. August 2007- Fluval 404 and 303 canister filters...hmmm not a good idea, without constant cleaning...this tank had been running since 2000 in one form or another as a marine fish and live rock only tank.  October 2007- Addition of the Superskimmer (Aka: Stupid skimmer)  There are some missing pictures from this time period.. some artists have blue periods, but I had a hairy period...this was it. Purchased dead liverock and it bloomed into some of the most brilliant green hair algae I have ever seen..hence my user name.. August 2008- Addition of a sump and Tek 4x39 T5 fixture and Aquamedic T1000 protein skimmer.  September 2008  October 2008  December 2008  The sump- perpindicular to the tank (20 gals), with Two little fishies reactor with Rowa Phos.  January 2009- Addition of Tek 6X39 T5 lights  March 2009  Right Side  Left Side  Well now you have seen my shame, my blunders, and some of my victories..

Yes, it is amazing, but I always have to ask why does that growth have to be sooo painful and darn expesive...haha
I must say, I owe alot to Kevin and Doug of Red Coral. They have helped me get on the right track.
