Well it started with Poopsydrew and I talking NewYears eve thinking of an "affordable"(If you beleive it..)Nano. It was decided that we would have a good old fashion REEF OFF! However as soon as our tanks were cycled he went off and fell in love with a certain frogfish. Not saying he can't still beat me but his choices are now limited. This is the tank as of Jan. 22.

HA, I laugh at my competition. Although its nice you decided to finally show the tank (Joe has been keeping his tank and stocking a secret so I dont copy it, ha like I would!)

The competition is on, Im off to find the camera.

On a side note this should be an interesting competition considering were both broke

Not a good state to be in if you starting a nano, but I suppose you could always Blag
Lets see who can come up with the most interesting forms of begging.

well OK it's been 1 year and a month since we started this reefoff. So here is a chronological slide show of my 10g soon to be transferred into a 29g.

At 1 month just finished cycling.

At 3 months still needs lighting and more LR.

At 5 months....

At 7 months I added 96watt T5 lighting....

Favorite coral added, the hairy mushrooms....

At 9 months....

At 12 months....

And FINALLY today....

Yes it is a little dirty but I will be moving the tank in 2 days so I let it go for a week.

I love to see tanks progress through time especially from the start
Nice looking tank.
What happened to poopsydrew

Drew has given up on marine .... He is too busy for fish recently.

Most of the corals are different species of xenia, clove polyps, and mushrooms.
