My evolution is ALL over the map.
May 2008: 54G sumpless... this tank never saw anymore life than a few hermit crabs. Not 1 snail, not 1 coral, not 1 fish. June 2008: The 54G soon became the sump of my 1st attempt at a my 75G. Tore this 75 apart about 2 months later. Mid 2008: I had my 20G going while the 1st attempt on the 75 was tore down. Sept-Oct 2008: The rebuild of my 75G took place. November 2008: During the time while the 75G was cycling, I started a 10G for the Contest. February 2009: Current 75G Damn!!!!! It hasn't even been a year yet!

The new tank is SEXY! Well done. I'm a sucker for a nice trimless tank with careful attention to detail like that.

Your install is beautiful Mark. A real shame about the bad run of luck but obviously you're capable and will have it looking as good again. Your stand with the 3 pockets underneath...exactly what I had planned to to only I was going to have two pockets and use the same tile I did but in the pockets as well. If I were you I'd buy a few sch 80 elbows and swap out those returns as they stick out quite a bit.
Hmmm...they did. I see they're fairly encrusted now =) |

I like how your blue tang can change colors in 2005 he's blue then 2006 he's purple and 2007 he's blue again. I want one for my self.

Oct 07. built a new stand and reno'd the family room. Still pretty getto LOL Jan 08 New lights etc and starting to come together. Jan 08 Switching over to SPS and its growing like mad. Tank is well settled in. Tank crashed in Aug of 09 and was sold off and replaced with 120 G that is currently cycling. |

OMG man that sports picture of the tiny team and giant coach. First pic you posted...hanging on the wall. I nearly busted a gasket when I saw that!
Progression was good...shame about the crash. We get better with every tank though so something to look forward to with the 120. |

My first SW. I purchased it from an ad in the local Buy and Sell exactly as it is pictured.
20gal 2004 I then went to a 48gal and then to a 33gal during 2004 but those pictures are lost forever thanks to a windows virus. 50gal 2005 50gal later 2005 120gal 2006 120gal 2007 120gal 2008 120gal 2009 The big tomato clown is the only original part of my first tank.
