Matts Tank Thread

Mattmike · 01/30/2010, 09:41 PM

I know I have not put up a Tank thread yet so here it is...I have been in this Hobby for about a year now, and totally addicted!!! I started off with a 180 Gallon Display tank and gradually decided to grow corals so I also have a 60 gallon Frag tank that is propped to my main display tank. My display tank has a mix of SPS/LPS/Soft...My favorite coral though I would have to say is Aussie Acan Lords. The colors and everything are just eye catching. When I first started this hobby I wasn't a big fan of SPS and like I said I'm addicted to the hobbie, I'm also adding alot of SPS weekly. In the meantime I'm happy to be apart of this forum and I'm hoping to meet many fellow reefers either in my surrounding area or out of state.

Thanks
Matt

Here are the pics...I'm not the greatest at Aquarium shooting...but as you can see I'm an Acan lover. Ill post a new thread with my 60 gallon frag tank with over 200 frags. Hope you enjoy.

It doesn't bother you having the frag station blocking your front view? I would put it on the side, but no big deal.

Looks nice

I JUST RECENTLY PUT IT there...and its in front of the overflow box so there's not much to see as it is.

Very cool! Just wait until you get Rainbow ultra's, then you'll be hooked on Acans! Wiz

Great collection you have there, are you culturing the frags for selling?

I have some nice rainbows already but my camera doesn't make the pics pop. I need to learn the aquarium photo modes better. Thanks!

Nice tank, it's way better than my 30g. I'm hoping soon once i prove to my parents i can take care of it i can move to a 75. Good luck with your tank.
