Oh man... wrong thread for me...

Kept freshwater Cichlids when I was a kid, and got into Saltwater about 2 years ago.

Most expensive, time consuming and frustrating hobby ever.

Started with a 55 gallon tank, then bought a 135 and then a 240 gallon tank.

After months of setting the 240 up, I decided I needed something bigger.

Going to start working on a 400 gallon tank (122" x 30.5" x 25.5") in a few months with around a 120 gallon sump tank under the main tank for filtration.

Goal is to keep these two fish together... which need a lot of their own space or they will kill each other.





In the mean time I tore down my 55 gallon and set it up again with better lights to learn how to keep coral. Better learn the ropes on a small tank then lose tens of thousands on lost corals on a huge tank.

Here are some pics from our redone 55, added a bunch of coral since then.
